Help in troubleshooting - fault lock-out
The following fault symptoms may occur in conjunction with the independent park heater/auxiliary heater:
- Independent park heater/auxiliary heater will not start (combustion air blower cannot be heard)
- Independent park heater/auxiliary heater switches off after one or several start attempts (combustion air blower can be heard but then switches off)
This may be attributed to a fault lock-out (set after 3 start attempts) due to following statuses:
- 1.) Undervoltage cutout triggered
- 2.) Overheating protection function triggered
- 3.) Fault lock-out due to insufficient fuel
Under certain conditions, the following may provide a remedy to the individual fault symptoms:
- Re: 1.) Check battery status and charge by alternator (Attention: Repeatedly driving short distances can lead to problems; explain situation to customer accordingly)
- Re: 2.) Cancel fault lock-out and/or overheating protection by deleting fault code memory of independent park heater/auxiliary heater. Check all hose lines for bends and leaks.
- Re: 3.) Cancel fault lock-out by deleting fault code memory of independent park heater/auxiliary heater. If the independent park heater/auxiliary heater does not receive fuel it attempts to start 3 times and then sets the fault lock-out (Attention: Ensure effective fuel supply with fuel level at reserve
or low).
Important: It is not possible to activate the independent park heater/auxiliary heater if a fault code for the independent park heater/auxiliary heaterwith K-bus is stored in the IHKA control unit (E38). In this case, first delete the IHKA fault code memory.Possible fault:
