Status Code: -16

Description
Battery voltage is too high.

Cause of Status Indication
This Status Code is indicated when the battery
volts are greater than 2.40 volts per cell when
the key switch is turned to ON.

Memory Recall: No

Circuit: Traction

Indication of Fault:
Forward or Reverse contactor does not close.

Possible Cause:
Control card needs adjustment.

Check Function Number 15 BATTERY
VOLTS for the correct adjustment for
the battery that is being used. See the
instructions for the Handset. Make the
correct adjustments.

Open circuit in current sensor circuit for
the regenerative braking.
Check for a broken yellow wire from the
current RB sensor to PA4. Check for loose
connections or a broken weld at the current
sensor. Check PA4 for a loose plug or pin
connection.

Battery is charged wrong or wrong
battery is installed.
Check the battery for the correct open circuit
voltage (see the table in the illustration at
the right). If the battery voltage is too high,
check the battery charger for the correct
output voltage.

48-volt battery is too low (between WHT
and BRN in Plug Z).

Function Number 15 is set for 36/48
volt operation (184 to 250).

The controller has determined that a 36 volt
battery is installed that has a voltage too
high.

If the battery voltage at the battery connector
is greater than 46.8 volts, check for a bad
connector or other bad connections
