SSU 000168.04 – Supply Voltage Too Low
SSU 000168.04 (SSU 168.04)
Code: 000168.04
Shortcode: 168.04
Description:
This diagnostic trouble code (DTC), SSU 000168.04, is triggered if the battery voltage drops below 9 volts for longer than 320 milliseconds. This indicates an undervoltage condition that can affect the performance and reliability of the equipment’s electrical systems.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the equipment may experience reduced functionality or fail to start. Critical systems may not operate correctly, leading to potential safety and operational issues.
Recommendations:
Inspect Battery:
- Check the battery for signs of damage or low charge. Charge or replace the battery if necessary.
Examine Charging System:
- Ensure the alternator and voltage regulator are functioning properly to maintain adequate battery voltage.
Verify Electrical Connections:
- Inspect wiring and connectors for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure and free of contaminants.
Monitor Voltage Levels:
- Use diagnostic tools to monitor system voltage and ensure it remains within the acceptable range.
Consult Technical Support:
- If the error persists after performing the above steps, consult technical support or the manufacturer for further assistance in identifying and resolving the issue.
Note:
- Regular maintenance of the battery and charging system can help prevent undervoltage conditions.
- Ensure all software updates are applied promptly to maintain compatibility and reliability of the vehicle’s electrical systems.
