VTV 000158.04 – Control Software, Supply Voltage (ELX) Too Low

VTV 000158.04 (VTV 158.04)

Code: 000158.04

Shortcode: 158.04

Description:

This error code, VTV 000158.04, indicates that the supply voltage (ELX) is below 9 volts. Insufficient voltage can lead to inadequate power for the control software, resulting in limited functionality or a complete halt in operations.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the control software may function with significant limitations or stop working altogether, potentially leading to operational disruptions or failures.

Recommendations:

Inspect Power Supply:

  • Verify that the power supply is delivering the appropriate voltage (typically between 12-14 volts).
  • If the voltage is below 9 volts, identify and address the cause of the under-voltage condition.

Check Battery Health:

  • Test the battery to ensure it is holding a charge and providing sufficient voltage.
  • Replace the battery if it is unable to maintain the required voltage.

Examine Wiring and Connections:

  • Inspect all wiring and connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
  • Repair or replace any compromised wiring or connections to ensure stable voltage delivery.

Assess Charging System:

  • Check the charging system to ensure it is functioning correctly and maintaining proper voltage levels.
  • Repair or replace components of the charging system as necessary.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the issue persists, consult technical support for further diagnostics and troubleshooting.
  • Provide detailed information on the voltage levels and any other related symptoms to aid in diagnosis.

Monitor System Performance:

  • After addressing the issues, monitor the system to ensure that the voltage remains within the acceptable range.
  • Record any recurring issues for further analysis and resolution.

Note:

Maintaining proper supply voltage is crucial for the reliable operation of the control software. Regular inspections and maintenance of the power supply, wiring, and related components can help prevent voltage-related issues and ensure optimal performance of the equipment.
