Debarker
In/Out Error
E12
Current Too
High
1) Verify Debarker
arm is not binding.
2) Inspect motor wir-
ing for damage.
3) Consult the man-
ual.
The E12 error code indicates that the ECM is detecting that the
Debarker in/out motor is drawing too much current. This can be
caused by a mechanical bind, damaged (shorted) wiring, or defec-
tive motor.
Possible Solution(s):
Disconnect the Debarker in/out motor and try to operate, if the E12
error reoccurs with motor disconnected, the problem is in the wir-
ing (shorted) or there is a defective circuit within the ECM. If the
error does not reoccur, the problem is isolated to the motor or a
mechanical issue. With the motor connected, disconnect the belt
on the in/out motor and see if the error reoccurs, if it does, the
most likely cause is the motor, if not, problem is likely mechani-
cal...go to the diagnostic screen in the config menu that shows the
current (amperage) for the Debarker In/Out motor, the normal
operating current should be around 4-6 amps, use this diagnostic
tool while making repairs/adjustments to the mechanical portion of
the Debarker to tell you when the current is in the proper range.
Note:
If the arm is driven into the stops for more than a couple of sec-
onds, this will cause an over-current error, if this was the case,
simply acknowledge the error (press the "check" mark button at
the bottom of the screen) and, if desired, clear the error log from
within the config screen.
Starter Sole-
noid Error
E13
Current Too
High
1) Inspect wiring for
damage.
2) Consult the man-
ual.
The E13 error code indicates the ECM has detected that the
starter solenoid is drawing too much current. This can be caused
by damaged (shorted) wiring for the starter solenoid, a defective
solenoid, or a defective circuit within the ECM.
Possible Solution(s):
Remove wire from the starter solenoid and try to crank the engine,
if error E13 does not reoccur, problem is likely the starter solenoid.
If problem does reoccur, problem is in the wiring (shorted) or there
is a defective circuit within the ECM.
Engine ECU
Power
E14
Current Too
High
1) Inspect wiring for
damage.
2) Consult the man-
ual.
The E14 error code indicates the ECM has detected that the circuit
for "ECU Power" on the Yanmar engine is drawing too much cur-
rent. This can be caused by damaged (shorted) wiring on the
engine harness, a shorted actuator relay, a defective ECM, or a
defective (shorted) engine ECU.
Possible Solution(s):
Carefully inspect red wire #5 that runs from the ECM (P1.3) to the
engine harness round connector (P1.G) for any kind of short, if wir-
ing looks OK, consult engine manufacturer's wiring documentation
for possible solution. If no wiring issues are detected, inspect actu-
ator relay for possible shorted coil, if OK, problem is either defec-
tive circuit within the ECM or a bad engine ECU.
Throttle
Error
E15
Current Too
High
1) Inspect wiring for
damage.
2) Consult the man-
ual.
The E15 error code indicates the ECM has detected that the circuit
for the engine ECU throttle command is pulling too much current.
This can be caused by damaged (shorted) wiring to the throttle
relay assembly, A shorted throttle relay coil, or a defective circuit
within the ECM.
Possible Solution(s):
Inspect wiring going to the throttle relay assy. for damage (short).
Disconnect white wire #48 from the white wire of throttle relay
assembly, if E15 error does not reoccur, problem is shorted wire in
the relay assy. or a defective throttle relay. If E15 does reoccur,
problem is either in the harness or the ECM.
