Showing items 1 - 3 of 3 results.
I was just responding in general due to the fact that this code applies to several different lifts.

I suspect you already figured this out, but I'm replying for the benefit of others. My experience is that this is one of the first codes you'll run into with a weak battery. You'd think that you'd get a "Low-Battery" code, but nope. I've seen this code on lifts that still show 1/3 power on the display. So, always charge the battery first.

Otherwise, the code refers to an issue with the left traction amplifier. The diagnostic procedure is extensive (checking for shorts & proper voltage at multiple points while using the maintenance menu).

Note: This code applies to Mitsubishi, Raymond, & Toyota lifts and you can sometimes see the code HK instead which is for the right traction amplifier.

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.
