Fault/Error Code Display Method
(models with seven segment display)
Fault codes are displayed by alternately showing
F# and E#. All fault codes have an F# and an E#.
The F# indicates the suspect System/Category.
The E# indicates the suspect Component system.
(models without seven segment display)
Fault codes are displayed by a series of flashes of
the WET indicator. All fault codes have an F# and
an E#. The first set of 0.5 second flashes should
be counted and used as the F#. The F# indicates
the suspect System/Category. The second set of
0.5 second flashes should again be counted and
used as the E#. The E# indicates the suspect
Component system. The transition from the F# to
the E# is indicated by a 2 second pause. After the
E# is displayed, there will be a 5 second pause
before the F# is flashed again.
Below shows how F3E6 would be displayed:
3 flashes ➔ 2 second pause ➔ 6 flashes ➔ 5 second pause
