Hello everyone!

I'm having a problem where, after performing a 10 cent tuning, the 'engine check' light stays on constantly.
Even with an expanded Poti and a restart, the display still flickers annoyingly.
Can the blinking of the warning light be reset somehow?


I find it amazing (I'm driving a 3B, 07/97, 66 KW, AHU), that the
Resistance value in my tuning, with 420 Ohms (this is the best!).

Should anyone be able to help me with the annoying control light:
Thick thanks in advance!!!

Andreas

Hello,

with the "annoying control light", your control unit wants to communicate with you
indicate an error, or emergency mode.
If I understand correctly, the warning light also flashes when
Continue dismantling and restoring to the original state.
This means that your control unit has detected a permanent error that cannot be fixed by restarting.

So, am besten: Get the fault codes read and post the results here.
Tschüss

Hi Michael!

I've been experimenting a bit: by 'preheating', I was able to stop the blinking.
Now, a switch is used to activate the 'tuning' function as needed and to bypass the control unit's check time!

Thank you and best regards.

Andreas
