1. HYDRONIC 10 (ACH-EW) FAULT CODES

1.1 INTRODUCTION

If the electronic unit detects a system fault, this 

fault is usually stored in the memory of the 

electronic unit as a fault code.

Most system faults will also generate a warning.

1.2 EXPLANATORY NOTES TO FAULT CODES FOR HYDRONIC 10 (ACH-EW) 

WITH ELECTRONIC UNIT D901

The below explanatory notes to fault codes apply 

to the Hydronic 10 (ACH-EW) with the electronic 

unit D901. The electronic unit can be identified by 

the cast-on cable with connector.

Applicable to:

Fault code

Fault code description with possible cause

Symptom

0-0

Internal communication fault in ECU (D901) due 
to:
-

defective ECU

-

Cab heater does not start or fails during 
operation

0-1

Internal communication fault in ECU (D901) due 
to:
-

defective ECU

-

Cab heater does not start or fails during 
operation

1-0

Fault when starting ACH-EW, no flame is 
detected within the start time. Flame sensor value 
remains below 80ºC, voltage on pins 10 and 12 of 
the 18-pin connector at the bottom of the ECU 
<2.23 V due to:
-

no or insufficient supply of fuel

-

insufficient supply of inlet air

-

clogged exhaust

-

fouled or damaged burner

-

voltage too high or too low during glowing

-

Cab heater does not start After 2 failed starts 
the cab heater switches off and generates a 
fault.

1-4

Too many starts without flame detection due to:
-

no or insufficient supply of fuel

-

insufficient supply of inlet air

-

clogged exhaust

-

fouled or damaged burner

-

voltage too high or too low during glowing

-

Cab heater shuts down after 10 failed starts 
(20 start attempts) and the ECU will block

2-0

Flame extinguishes repeatedly during operation 
due to:
-

no or insufficient supply of fuel

-

insufficient supply of inlet air

-

undervoltage or overvoltage

-

excessively high flame sensor temperature

-

excessively high overheating sensor 
temperature

-

defective combustion device

-

fouled or damaged burner

-

clogged or fouled exhaust

-

Cab heater fails or emits smoke and 
supplies insufficient heat

3-1

Voltage (>30 V for at least 20 seconds) on pins 
A5 and A6 of the ECU (D901) is too high due to:

during starting

-

Cab heater fails during operation

4-0
