DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING
e 1220 controller detects a wide variety of fault conditions. Faults with the
steering controller typically aect the traction controller as well, as shown in
the troubleshooting chart.
Faults are displayed on the handheld programmer. If you have a LED
device attached to the Status LED driver (pin J1-1), the fault codes will be
ashed by that device. e numerical codes used by the LED are listed in the
troubleshooting chart (Table 4),
e troubleshooting chart, Table 4, provides the following information about
each controller fault:
• faultcode
• faultnameasdisplayedontheprogrammer’sLCD
• possiblecausesofthefault
• faultclearconditions
• steerfaultaction(eectoffaultonsteering)
• tractionfaultaction(eectoffaultontraction)
For each fault, the chart shows one of these six Steer Fault actions:
Warning Only — e 1220 still operates normally.
Shutdown — Immediate shutdown of the 1220 and turn-o of the fault
output (pin J3-1).
Warning and reduced current limit — Steer motor current is reduced, to
protect the controller.
Warning and maximizing steering angle output voltage — Steering angle output
voltage (pin J1-12) is maximized, which limits the traction motor RPM.
Warning then Shutdown — e 1220 continues to operate until the traction
motor comes to a stop or the timer (set by Fault Steering Timeout) expires.
After this occurs, the Shutdown action takes place.
Hold then Shutdown — e 1220 tries to hold the existing wheel position
regardless of operator input until the traction motor comes to a stop or the
timer (set by Fault Steering Timeout) expires. After this occurs, the Shutdown
action takes place.
Whenever a fault is encountered and no wiring or vehicle fault can be found,
shut o KSI and turn it back on to see if the fault clears. If it does not, shut
o KSI and remove the J1, J2, and J3 connectors. Check the connectors for
corrosion or damage, clean them if necessary, and re-insert them.
