Code E161

Power amplifier could not detect presence of lower valve coil.

Possible cause/corrective action:

Lower valve missing.
Open or short circuit in lower valve or wiring; master control relay missing or stuck open; main contactor open circuit (especially after it has closed); communication error due to PMT. Allow PMT to reboot before turning truck ON. Bad power amplifier.
