VLC 002388.06 – Center Spot Light Circuit Current High

VLC 002388.06 (VLC 2388.06)

Code: 002388.06

Shortcode: 2388.06

Description:

This error code, VLC 002388.06, indicates that the Vehicle Load Center (VLC) control unit has detected that the current in the center spot light circuit exceeds the fuse rating of 10 amps. This suggests a potential short circuit or excessive load in the circuit.

Reaction:

When this fault is detected, the center spot light will not operate, and the circuit’s fuse may blow to prevent damage, leading to reduced visibility and illumination around the vehicle.

Recommendations:

Inspect Wiring and Connections:

  • Examine the wiring and connectors in the center spot light circuit for any signs of short circuits, such as damaged insulation or exposed wires. Repair or replace any faulty wiring or connectors.

Check the Spot Light Bulb:

  • Ensure that the center spot light bulb is not drawing excessive current due to a fault. Replace any bulbs that are found to be faulty.

Test the Relay and Fuse:

  • Verify that the relay and fuse for the center spot light circuit are correctly rated and not faulty. Replace any blown fuses or malfunctioning relays with the correct ratings.

Measure Circuit Current:

  • Use a multimeter to measure the current in the center spot light circuit to confirm it exceeds 10 amps. Identify and rectify any sources of excessive current draw.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the problem persists, contact technical support for further diagnostics. Provide detailed information about the fault and the steps taken to resolve it.

Note:

High current in the center spot light circuit can be caused by factors such as short circuits, mechanical faults in the bulbs, or incorrect component ratings. Regular maintenance and careful inspection of the electrical system can help prevent such issues.
