What does this fault code mean?
The ECM checks the system voltage and sets the code when the voltage falls below a set value. The cause can be the battery, its connections, the system relay or the charging, and the fault is described as low battery voltage.
Possible causes
- Contact resistance in the connections to the battery
- Contact resistance in the connections to the system relay
- Damaged battery
- Damaged or faulty charging system
What you can do
- 1Check that the fuses are intact
- 2Check the battery terminals and connections for contact resistance and oxidation
- 3Check the contact block of the system relay for contact resistance and oxidation
- 4If a generator fault code is stored, troubleshoot that code first
- 5If you have diagnostic equipment: read the battery voltage in live data with the engine running and compare it with the value when the engine is stopped
- 6If the connections are clean and tight, have a workshop check the battery condition and the charging system
Symptoms you may notice5
- The engine does not start, hard to tell when it happens
- Starter cranks but the engine fails to start
- The engine stalls while driving, hard to tell when it happens
- The engine stalls on starting
- The environment lamp is lit
