code 18

possible causes
faulty right motor field circuit, faulty H bridge board, faulty logic card, faulty controller harness

how the code is triggered
when h bridge board detects over-current for right FET (transistor)
software checks following signal and detects fault when the signal is under 1V.
-R. Field Error (CN2-13)
Areas to check
disconnect battery plug, check right motor field cable terminals, logic card CN2-13 terminal and H bridge board CN2-16 terminal for abnormality.
If acceptable
-check continuity between following terminals. Right motor field cables
-logic card CN2-13 and CN2-63(neg)
If unacceptable
correct or replace cables.

If not shorted turn on key and confirm 18 is displayed.
Confirm voltage between CN2-13 and CN2-63(neg) with multimeter. If shorted correct or replace faulty circuit.

If 0v replace H-bridge board, If about 15v replace logic card.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
