EPC 001079.03 – 5-volt Power Supply, Voltage Too High
EPC 001079.03 (EPC 1079.03)
Code: 001079.03
Shortcode: 1079.03
Description:
This error code, EPC 001079.03, is generated when the EPC measures more than 5.2 volts at the positive lead of the power supply to the 5-volt components (clutch pedal potentiometer B65, accelerator pedal potentiometer B79, hand throttle potentiometer B96, and enable pressure sensor B105). This indicates that the circuit is shorted to a positive supply lead or there is an internal interruption at the control unit.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the affected components may receive too high a voltage, potentially causing malfunction or damage to the clutch, accelerator, hand throttle, and pressure sensor operations.
Recommendations:
Inspect for Short Circuits:
- Check the 5-volt power supply circuit for any signs of shorting to a positive supply lead. Repair any detected faults.
Verify Control Unit:
- Inspect the control unit for any internal interruptions or faults that could be causing the high voltage. Replace the control unit if necessary.
Inspect Wiring and Connections:
- Check the wiring and connections to the 5-volt components (B65, B79, B96, B105) for any signs of damage or loose connections. Repair or replace as necessary.
Test Affected Components:
- Use diagnostic tools to test the clutch pedal potentiometer, accelerator pedal potentiometer, hand throttle potentiometer, and enable pressure sensor for any signs of overvoltage damage.
Reset and Test System:
- After addressing the issues, reset the system and monitor the voltage levels to ensure they remain within the normal operating range.
Note:
Regular inspection and maintenance of the 5-volt power supply circuit and components can help prevent overvoltage issues and ensure reliable operation.
