Code 201

Lift throws 201 code and a strong sulfur smell. Battery has full charge. Lift operates at low speed, but soon as you increase speed it codes out 201. All troubleshooting points to Access 2. Any help?

Thanks Zerk. I suspected the battery was the problem, and that test proved it. It was a refurbished battery, and to go one step further, I swapped batteries and the lift operated fine. Thanks again.

Water the battery. Hook a volt meter to the battery and raise up the forks you will see a big volt drop when you travel slow it's not to big but at full travel it will drop to far and freak the lift out. (voltage dropping under what the modules need to operate.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
