GPM 000168.04 – Supply Voltage (BAT) Too Low
GPM 000168.04 (GPM 168.04)
Code: 000168.04
Shortcode: 168.04
Description:
This error code indicates that the supply voltage (BAT) has fallen below 9 volts. This can occur due to various reasons, including battery issues, alternator problems, or wiring faults.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the equipment may experience performance issues or fail to operate altogether due to insufficient power supply.
Recommendations:
- Inspect Battery:
- Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary.
- Ensure the battery is fully charged and in good condition. Replace the battery if it is old or failing.
- Check Alternator:
- Verify that the alternator is functioning correctly and providing adequate charging to the battery. Repair or replace the alternator if it is malfunctioning.
- Inspect Wiring:
- Examine the wiring and connections for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace damaged wiring as needed.
- Monitor Voltage Levels:
- Use a multimeter to monitor the voltage levels and ensure they remain above 9 volts during operation.
Note:
Consistently low supply voltage can lead to further electrical issues and potential damage to the equipment’s electronic components. Regular maintenance of the electrical system is essential to prevent this error.
