Lubemizer
Error
E16
Current Too
High
1) Inspect pump wir-
ing for damage.
2) Inspect pump for
obstruction.
3) Consult the man-
ual.
The E16 error code indicates the ECM has detected that the circuit
for the Lubemizer pump is drawing too much current. This can be
caused by damaged (shorted) wiring to the pump, debris in the
pump, frozen or defective pump, or a defective circuit within the
ECM.
Possible Solution(s):
Inspect wiring for Lubemizer pump for damage (short). Disconnect
pump, if E16 does not reoccur, problem is with the pump. If E16
does reoccur, problem is in the harness or the ECM.
Power Feed
Error
E17
Current Too
High
1) Verify feed system
is not binding.
2) Inspect Feed motor
wiring for damage.
3) Consult the man-
ual.
The E17 error code indicates the MCM has detected that the cir-
cuit for the forward/reverse motor is drawing too much current.
This can be caused by a mechanical bind, damaged (shorted) feed
motor wiring, defective motor, or a defective MCM.
Possible Solution(s):
Inspect wiring for damage. Remove the wires from the feed motor,
if E17 reoccurs, problem is a damaged (shorted) harness or a
defective MCM. If E17 does not reoccur, problem is either
mechanical bind or a defective motor. Disconnect feed motor from
the gear box and reconnect the wires to the motor, if motor now
runs without an E17 reoccurring then problem is a mechanical
bind.
Note:
The feed motor icon on the display indicates feed motor current
(amperage), this can be used when making mechanical
repairs/adjustments to know when the binding problem is com-
pletely fixed. Normal max current should be in the 60-70 amp
range.
Up/Down
Error
E18
Current Too
High
1) Inspect Up/Dn sys-
tem for binding.
2) Inspect Up/Dn
motor wiring for dam-
age.
3) Consult the manual
The E18 error code indicates the MCM has detected that the cir-
cuit for the Up/down motor is drawing too much current. This can
be caused by a mechanical bind, damaged (shorted) up/down
motor wiring, defective motor, or a defective MCM.
Possible Solution(s):
Inspect wiring for damage. Disconnect the wires from the feed
motor, if E18 reoccurs, problem is a damaged (shorted) harness or
a defective MCM. If E18 does not reoccur, problem is either
mechanical bind or a defective motor. Disconnect Up/down motor
belt and reconnect the wires to the motor, if motor now runs with-
out an E18 reoccurring then problem is a mechanical bind.
Note:
The Up/down motor icon on the display indicates up/down motor
current (amperage), this can be used when making mechanical
repairs/adjustments to know when the binding problem is com-
pletely fixed. Normal max current should be in the 65-75 amp
range.
Additional Note:
The vertical mast for the head has gas shocks in it that act to
"remove weight" from the head, If defective, this will cause exces-
sive motor current acting like a mechanical bind.
