13.4.2 Operational messages
The DTCO 1381 recognizes operational errors and outputs the
respective message on the display of the DTCO 1381.
Operational messages are not saved in the DTCO 1381 data
memory.
The error code can be read-out over the diagnosis interfaces (CAN or
K-Line) with a test device, but it will not be shown on the display of
the DTCO 1381.

00000005B3 Printout (display) of the requested data is currently not possible or
an printout in progress is cancelled.
Possible causes
• Vehicle is moving
• Ignition is switched off (only ADR variant)
• Printing head has overheated
• Undervoltage or overvoltage
• Internal printer interface is occupied by another active process,
e.g. communication on k-line diagnosis interface
Measures
– Repeat process.
– Printing or displaying is possible only when the vehicle is
motionless and the ignition is switched on (only ADR variant);
if necessary, stop the vehicle or turn on the ignition.
– After a long printout, the print head temperature is too high;
wait to cool.
– Check the voltage supply of the DTCO 1381; correct the fol-
lowing if necessary:
a) Connection plug and cable (pin assignment, poor con-
nection, loose contact).
b) Voltage on terminals 30 and 15; within the specified range?
c) Voltage behavior on terminals 30 and 15 during starting;
within the specified range?
– Wait until the other active process has been completed and the
internal printer interface is free once more.
If the error message continues to appear despite these measures,
replace the DTCO 1381.
