Description:

This error code, VTV 000168.03, indicates that the battery supply voltage (BAT) is above 16 volts. Excessive voltage can damage the control software, leading to limited functionality or complete shutdown.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the control software may operate with limited functionality or cease to function entirely, affecting the equipment’s performance.

Recommendations:

Inspect Power Supply:

• Verify that the power supply is delivering the appropriate voltage (typically between 12-14 volts).
• If the voltage is above 16 volts, identify and rectify the cause of the over-voltage condition.

Check Voltage Regulator:

• Inspect the voltage regulator for proper operation.
• Replace or repair the voltage regulator if it is found to be faulty.

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.

Test Battery and Charging System:

• Test the battery and charging system to ensure they are functioning correctly.
• Replace the battery if it is overcharging or not maintaining proper voltage levels.

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 battery 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.
