Discussion:
Raymond Reach EASI - Code 23 - No Traction

Hi,

I had a short in the lift motor, it caused the Q1 and REC1 to burn out.

I replaced them both, still had code 23.

I replaced the power card and the system card as well, and still have code 23.

I replaced/checked VFC with known working as well, still code 23.


I have gone through almost everything except TM (transistor module) and STILL CODE 23!!!


Any advice on what I should look at next, because this code 23 is killing me.


Lift/auxillary functions run, but the traction/drive functions do not and truck is immobilized by code 23.


Thanks in advance,

Showing items 21 - 24 of 24 results.
the odd stuff:
1. Is the horm shorted
2. Is the power cable through the loop on the power card the right way? wrong way will give you a 23
3. are the motor cables shorted out?
4. is the motor still shorted?
5. did you check the rest of the power loop? capacitor, r1 etc?

Ok...

Well I found the heatsink shorting out to frame, but I fixed the short, and I still have code 23...

No other shorts left on the car, and lots of new electronics...


IDEAS?

Well I read through that thread, and your posts as well, some good info in there.

I replaced the TM (transistor module) today as well, and still have code 23.

I just noticed I have a short somewhere between the big heatsink and the frame. I checked the insulation and all, but looks good, but I'm now going in for a closer look to see where the big heatsink could be shorting out.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
