10. Troubleshooting
Error causes and countermeasures are described in this section.
10-1. Error Display & Countermeasures
An error code is output at the VS-12PB when a Controller or ABSOCODER sensor error occurs. When this
happens, refer to the Table below to determine the cause and the appropriate countermeasure.
