Active
0x2140
Fault Type(s):1
1. Controller is operating in an
extreme environment.
2. Excessive load on vehicle.
3. Improper mounting of controller
which is preventing controller
cooling.
4. Controller is performance-limited
at this temperature.
5. See Programmer » System Monitor
menu » Controller: Temperature.
Set: Controller’s Heatsink
temperature exceeded 85 °C.
Clear: Bring heatsink
temperature below 85 °C.
