    What does FAIL 003 mean on my Motorola Radio and how to fix it?
    • S
      Stephanie SingletonAug 22, 2025
      FAIL 003 indicates a mismatch between the radio programming and the control head type. To resolve this, you can try to reprogram the EEPROM. Alternatively, replace the control head with the correct control head type.

    What does FAIL 002 mean on my Motorola Radio and how can I fix it?
    • C
      Christopher BarronAug 26, 2025
      If your Motorola Radio shows FAIL 002, it indicates that the accessed mode has an incorrect pattern in the memory board EEPROM. You can try to reprogram the EEPROM from an ARCHIVE file, if available. If that doesn't work, replace the memory board.
