3.2 Trip Diagnosis with a single bulb (or LED) type status
indicator
3.2.1 Solo Controllers & Egis prior to 2002
If the vehicle is not fitted with a TruCharge type status indicator you will need a PGDT
SP1 Programmer to determine the trip type.
You must connect the SP1 to the controller whilst the status indicator is flashing rapidly,
a trip message will then be displayed on the SP1’s screen. As an example, assume
that the wires to the solenoid brake have been disconnected, the message displayed
would be as below.
Diagnosis…. Code 1500: solenoid brake trip - check brakes and
connections. Press enter to continue.
From the above, you can see there is a 4 digit number - this is known as the trip code,
in this case 1500.
When this code is used in conjunction with the specific Trip Table in Chapter 3, you
can determine the trip type, 1 to 10. The trip types and their possible causes are
described in more detail in Chapter 3.
3.2.2 Egis Controllers
If the Egis controller with a single lamp (or LED) has been programmed accordingly
then the Trip Code will be displayed in a flash sequence.
Example: If the controller detects a Motor Wiring Trip then the single lamp
(or LED) will flash three times, pause, and then flash three times,
and so on. The flash sequence represents the Trip Code which
would be displayed if a TruCharge module was fitted.
When this code is used in conjunction with the specific Trip Table in Chapter 4, you
can determine the trip type, 1 to 10. The trip types and their possible causes are
described in more detail in Chapter 4.
3.2.3 S-Drive Controller
If the Egis controller with a single lamp (or LED) has been programmed accordingly
then the Trip Code will be displayed in a flash sequence.
Example: If the controller detects a Motor Wiring Trip then the single lamp
(or LED) will flash three times, pause, and then flash three times,
and so on. The flash sequence represents the Trip Code which
would be displayed if a TruCharge module was fitted.
When this code is used in conjunction with the specific Trip Table in Chapter 5, you
can determine the trip type, 1 to 10. The trip types and their possible causes are
described in more detail in Chapter 5.
3.3 Trip Diagnosis with the SP1a programmer
You can also use a PG Drives Technology SP1a Programmer to determine the exact
trip type.
To do this you must connect the SP1a to the controller whilst the status indicator is
flashing rapidly, a trip message will then be displayed on the SP1a’s screen. As an
