Description:

This error code, SCO 000168.03, indicates that the supply voltage (BAT) for the control software has risen above 16 volts. Excessive voltage can damage electronic components and disrupt the operation of the control software.

Reaction:

When this fault is detected, the control software may have limited functionality or may cease to function altogether.

Recommendations:

• Inspect Charging System:
  • Ensure that the charging system, including the alternator and voltage regulator, is functioning correctly. Replace any faulty components.
• Check for Overvoltage Conditions:
  • Investigate any possible causes of overvoltage, such as external charging sources or malfunctioning equipment.
• Test Electrical Components:
  • Test other electrical components for signs of damage due to overvoltage and replace as necessary.
• Monitor Voltage:
  • Continuously monitor the supply voltage to ensure it stays within the recommended range.

Note:

Preventive Maintenance:

• Regular maintenance and inspection of the charging system can help prevent overvoltage conditions and protect the control software.
