Description

SNOW SENSOR BROWN WIRE ERROR

The Interface is unable to read the brown wire connected to sensor . Check the sensor brown and 

black wires according to the sensor installation manual . Once the error has been corrected, the 

error message automatically clears .

SNOW/ICE SENSOR ERROR

The Interface is unable to properly detect the sensor . Check the sensor brown, yellow, red and black wires 

according to the sensor installation manual . It is important to check any cable splices for loose  

wiring connections . Once the error has been corrected, the error message automatically clears .

SNOW SENSOR ERROR

The Interface is unable to properly detect the snow sensor . Check the snow sensor yellow, red and 

black wires according to the sensor installation manual . Once the error has been corrected, the 

error message automatically clears .
