MID 128 / 144, PPID 132 Throttle
calibrated position
FMI 3 – Voltage above normal or shorted high
Fault code explanation: Faulty throttle potentiometer / Faulty throttle potentiometer circuit
Fault indication: DCU: Engine warning in DCU display.
CIU: Flash code
Flash code
Electrical fault: 2.8
Value fault: None.
Symptom: Engine goes to idle. If the accelerator is released at first and then pressed
down again the engine can be forced to run using the idle contact.
Preconditions: NOTICE! If the control panel ONLY communicates on the J1939 communi-
cation
and
NOT the redundancy of J1587 for start, stop and throttle this fault
code is active in the VODIA and that is normal.
Possible reason: • Open circuit in any or all of the throttle signals.
• Short circuited throttle potentiometer signal cable to 5V voltage or to
battery voltage.
• Faulty sensor.
Suitable action: 1 Check that the throttle potentiometer is connected correctly.
2 Check cable harness between CIU and the CIU throttle potentiometer.
3 Check the function of the throttle potentiometer. Check the contact
pressure in socket 2, 3 and 3 in the CIU connector.
FMI 4 – Voltage below normal or shorted to lower voltage
Fault code explanation: Faulty throttle potentiometer / Faulty throttle potentiometer circuit
Fault indication: DCU: Engine warning in DCU display.
CIU: Flash code
Flash code
Electrical fault: 2.8
Value fault: None.
Symptom: Engine goes to idle. If the accelerator is released at first and then pressed
down again the engine can be forced to run using the idle contact.
Preconditions: NOTICE! If the control panel ONLY communicates on the J1939 communi-
cation
and
NOT the redundancy of J1587 for start, stop and throttle this fault
code is active in the VODIA and that is normal.
Possible reason: • Short circuited throttle potentiometer signal cable to battery negative.
• Faulty sensor.
Suitable action: 1 Check that the throttle potentiometer is connected correctly.
2 Check cable harness between CIU and the CIU throttle potentiometer.
3 Check the function of the throttle potentiometer.
