This error code, CRU 000168.03, indicates that the radio unit (CRU) has detected an unswitched supply voltage exceeding 18 volts. This condition suggests a potential issue with the voltage regulation or electrical system supplying power to the unit. High voltage levels can damage electronic components and impair the functionality of the control software.
