SSU 000524.09 – Incorrect CAN BUS Message, Gear Selection from EPC

SSU 000524.09 (SSU 524.09)

Code: 000524.09

Shortcode: 524.09

Description:

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC), SSU 000524.09, is generated when the gear selection information from the Electronic Power Control (EPC) is not recognized on the CAN BUS. This indicates a communication issue between the EPC and the rest of the system.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the equipment may not correctly display or process gear selection data, which can affect operations that rely on accurate gear information.

Recommendations:

Verify CAN BUS Communication:

  • Inspect the CAN BUS wiring and connectors for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion.
  • Use diagnostic tools to check for continuity and proper voltage levels in the CAN BUS lines.

Check Gear Selection Data:

  • Ensure that the gear selection data from the EPC is correctly transmitted and recognized by the system.
  • Check the EPC for proper configuration and operation.

Update Software:

  • Ensure that the EPC and related system software are up-to-date. Update the software to include the latest diagnostic trouble codes and communication protocols.

Replace Faulty Components:

  • If any components within the CAN BUS network are found to be defective, replace them with new, genuine parts.

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 and inspection of the CAN BUS wiring and connected components can help prevent this issue.
  • This code may sometimes be triggered by intermittent faults in the CAN BUS communication, so monitoring the system for any recurrence is crucial.
