    What to do if I see a 'Low Voltage' error on my Lippert Controller?
    • J
      John MorrisSep 12, 2025
      If you see a 'Low Voltage' error on your Lippert Controller, it means the battery voltage has dropped below 10.8V. Check the wiring for any damage and repair or replace as needed. Also, test the battery voltage under load and either charge or replace the battery.

    What to do if my Lippert Controller shows an 'Out Of Stroke' error?
    • E
      Elizabeth TaylorAug 21, 2025
      An 'Out Of Stroke' error on your Lippert Controller means that the jack has reached its maximum stroke length and cannot lift any further, or that there is an unexpectedly high amp current stall. Check the position of the jacks and relocate the trailer if necessary. You should also check the jacks in manual mode or perform a manual override procedure. Inspect for bent or damaged jacks and repair or replace any damaged components.

    Why does my Lippert Controller show an 'Auto Level Fail' error?
    • H
      harringtonjustinAug 23, 2025
      If the Lippert Controller displays an 'Auto Level Fail' error, it could be due to uneven ground or an incorrectly set zero point. Check the position of the jacks and relocate the trailer to more level ground. You may also need to reset the zero point.

    • T
      Timothy DiazAug 26, 2025
      A 'Comm Error' on the Lippert Controller indicates that communication between the controller and the touch pad has been lost. Check the harness for proper connections and any signs of damage, and replace if necessary.

    What does the error 'LF Jack RF Jack LM Jack RM Jack LR Jack RR Jack' mean on my Lippert Controller?
    • J
      Julie WeaverAug 28, 2025
      This error on your Lippert Controller indicates a problem with a specific jack (left front, right front, left middle, right middle, left rear, right rear) due to a hall signal issue or an open or short circuit between the controller and the motor. Check the harness connections at the controller and at the jack. Inspect the harness for any damage. Also, check the fuses at the controller. Repair or replace components as needed.

    What to do if the Lippert Controller displays a 'Feature Disabled' error?
    • M
      Michael BensonAug 30, 2025
      A 'Feature Disabled' error on your Lippert Controller can occur for several reasons. It may happen if the front of the trailer is below level when starting the Auto Level process (especially when trying to initiate Hitch Recognition). To resolve this, use manual mode on the touch pad to retract the rear jacks (including the middle, if equipped) and set the landing gear (front jacks) to hitch height. Another cause could be that the touch pad power wasn't cycled between consecutive leveling operations; turn the touch pad off and then back on to reset the system. Finally, ensure that the zero point has been set.

    Why am I getting an 'Excess Angle' error on my Lippert Controller?
    • J
      Jennifer WilliamsSep 1, 2025
      An 'Excess Angle' error on your Lippert Controller can occur if the controller is not properly secured or if an excessive angle is reached during auto or manual operation. Check and secure the controller placement. If the error occurs during operation, relocate the trailer.
