Error Messages and Codes
5 Check the wiring harness connectors 
P/J428, P/J2720, P/J272, and P/J27 
between the MCU Board and Duplex 
Board? Are the connectors securely 
connected?
Go to step 6. Reconnect the 
connectors.
6 Check the Duplex Unit Harness for 
continuity.
1. Disconnect P/J428 and P/J2720.
2. Check continuity between P/J2720 
<=> P/J428.
Go to step 7. Replace the 
Duplex Unit 
Harness.
7 Check the Front Cover Harness for 
continuity.
1. Disconnect P/J2720 and P/J272.
2. Check continuity between P/J2720 
<=> P/J272.
Go to step 8. Replace the 
Front Cover 
Harness.
8 Check the Right Side Harness for 
continuity.
1. Disconnect P/J27 and P/J272.
2. Check continuity between P/J27 and 
P/J272.
Go to step 9. Replace the 
Right Side 
Harness.
9 Check the Duplex Board signal.
1. Disconnect P/J27 from the MCU 
Board.
2. Are there +24 V across ground <=> 
J27-A17/J27-A18 when the 
Interlock is activated?
Replace the 
Duplex Unit 
(page 8-94).
Replace the 
MCU Board 
(page 8-87).
10 Check the Top LV Harness for 
continuity.
1. Disconnect P/J501 and P/J14.
2. Check continuity between P/J501 
<=> P/J14.
Go to step 11. Replace the Top 
LV Harness.
11 Check the LVPS signal.
1. Disconnect P/J503 from the LVPS.
2. Is there +24 V across ground <=> 
J503-1 when the Interlock Switch is 
activated?
Replace the 
MCU Board 
(page 8-87).
Replace the 
LVPS 
(page 8-81).
