SCC 000168.03 – SCC Unswitched Supply Voltage High
SCC 000168.03 (SCC 168.03)
Code: 000168.03
Shortcode: 168.03
Description:
This error code indicates that the Selective Control Unit (SCC) has detected an unswitched supply voltage above 18.0 V. High voltage can be caused by a malfunctioning voltage regulator, issues within the alternator, or external voltage sources impacting the system.
Reaction:
When this code is detected, the SCC will disable its functions, turning them off to prevent potential damage due to overvoltage.
Recommendations:
Inspect Voltage Regulator:
- Check the voltage regulator for proper operation. Replace if it is malfunctioning or not maintaining voltage within specified limits.
Examine Alternator Output:
- Verify that the alternator is providing the correct voltage output. If the output is too high, repair or replace the alternator.
Check for External Voltage Sources:
- Ensure that there are no external voltage sources improperly connected to the SCC circuit, which could cause the voltage to rise above 18.0 V.
Inspect Wiring and Connections:
- Look for any signs of damaged wiring or poor connections that could affect voltage regulation. Repair or replace as necessary.
Monitor System Voltage:
- Use a multimeter to continuously monitor the system voltage, ensuring it stays within the safe operating range.
Note:
High voltage issues can cause significant damage to electronic components. Immediate action is required to prevent further damage.
