Error Messages and Codes
4 Reseat Tray 2. Does the error still 
occur?
Go to step 5. Complete.
5 Check the No Paper Actuator. Does the 
Actuator operate smoothly?
Go to step 6. Replace the 
Feeder 
(page 8-43).
6 Perform the Tray 2 No Paper test 
(page 4-37): Service Mode > Engine 
Diag > Sensor Test > Tray 2 No Paper.
Does the number on the Control Panel 
increase by 1 every time the Actuator 
is activated?
Replace the 
MCU Board 
(page 8-87).
Go to step 7.
7 Check the wiring harness connectors 
P/J23, P/J232, and P/J2321 between 
the No Paper Sensor and the MCU 
Board. Are the connectors securely 
connected?
Go to step 8. Reconnect the 
connectors. Go 
to step 8.
8 Check the Right Side Harness for 
continuity.
1. Disconnect P/J23 and P/J232.
2. Check continuity between P/J23 <=> 
P/J232.
Go to step 9. Replace the 
Right Side 
Harness.
9 Check the Registration Sensor 
Harness for continuity.
1. Disconnect P/J232 and P/J2321.
2. Check continuity between P/J232 
<=> P/J2321.
Go to step 10. Replace the 
Registration 
Sensor 
Harness.
10 Check the No Paper Sensor signal.
1. Disconnect P/J23 on the MCU 
Board.
2. Is there +3.3 V across ground <=> 
J23-5?
Go to step 11. Replace the 
MCU Board 
(page 8-87).
11 Check the No Paper Sensor for 
operation.
1. Measure the voltage across ground 
<=> J23-7.
2. Does the voltage change when the 
No Paper Sensor is activated?
Replace the 
MCU Board 
(page 8-87).
Replace the No 
Paper Sensor 
(page 8-48).
