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.
