The following list shows possible ECU fault codes, causes and recommended solutions. If a fault is displayed that is not listed, contact your Link dealer for further advice. You can use Find (Ctrl F) on this page to find the fault code.
When the ECU generates a fault code the fault code can be determined the following ways:
·Fault codes are displayed in PCLink in the ECU Status runtime values.
·They may also be displayed on a Check Engine Light or a digital dashboard display.
·Link G4X Wire-in ECUs have an LED in the front of the ECU. The fault code will be flashed using the 'Long Tens' method. One of the two LEDs on the Plugin ECUs operates in the same manner.
Fault codes can be cleared in several different ways:
·Select Clear Fault Codes in the ECU Controls drop down menu.
·Hold the throttle position (or accelerator position if ethrottle) above 80% for 10s after turning the ignition on while the engine is stalled.
·Setup a DI input to clear the ecu fault codes as shown here.
This list will be updated as new fault conditions are added. Also check all PCLink runtime values for real time information on ECU parameters.

E-Throttle 1 Max %DC Limit |
E-Throttle duty cycle has been greater than or equal to the Max Clamp DC value for more than the Fault Delay Time (Time increments when in fault and decrements when not in fault). |
In this situation the E-Throttle system is shut down and cannot be restarted until the ECU power has been cycled. There may be something restricting throttle plate movement or the wiring to the throttle motor has been disconnected meaning the ECU has tried to move the throttle plate but has needed to apply to much power for too long. |
70 |
E-Throttle 1 Min %DC Limit |
E-Throttle duty cycle has been less than or equal to the Min Clamp DC value for more than the Fault Delay Time (Time increments when in fault and decrements when not in fault). |
In this situation the E-Throttle system is shut down and cannot be restarted until the ECU power has been cycled. There may be something restricting throttle plate movement or the wiring to the throttle motor has been disconnected meaning the ECU has tried to move the throttle plate but has needed to apply to much power for too long. |
71 |
Aux 9/10 Supply Error - E-Throttle |
The (Aux 9/10) Supply voltage has been 7.0V or less for more than the Fault Delay Time (Time increments when in fault and decrements when not in fault). |
In this situation the E-Throttle system is shut down and cannot be restarted until the ECU power has been cycled. Measure the supply voltage. Check for blown fuses. |
72 |
Analog 5V Supply Error - E-Throttle (E-Throttle Sensor Supply Voltage) |
The external 5V supply has been 4.9V or less for more than the Fault Delay Time (Time increments when in fault and decrements when not in fault). |
In this situation the E-Throttle system is shut down and cannot be restarted until the ECU power has been cycled. |
74 |
Analog 5V Supply Error |
The ECUs 5V Out voltage is not as expected. |
There may be a wiring fault on the 5V Out pin causing too much current draw. Check Analog Output Supply runtime value (found under ECU Status runtime values). It should read between about 4.9 and 5.1 volts. |
75 |
E-Throttle 1 TPS /Target Error |
The TPS/Target Error Accumulator value has reached 100%, this value increases when the difference between the current and target throttle position has been greater than 6% (6% of total throttle range not 6% of current throttle target) and decreases when it is less than or equal to 6%. The time taken to reach 100% is determined by the Fault Delay Time. |
In this situation the E-Throttle system is shut down and cannot be restarted until the ECU power has been cycled. The throttle plate cannot achieve or maintain achieve the desired target position. Redo TPS calibration procedure. Check Electronic Throttle Control tuning. Check mechanical operation of throttle actuator. |
76 |
TPS(main) /TPS(sub) tracking Error |
The TPS Error Accumulator value has reached 100%, this value increases when the difference between the TPS (Main) and TPS (Sub) positions has been greater than 6% (6% of total throttle range not 6% of current throttle position) and decreases when it is less than or equal to 6%.

The time taken to reach 100% is determined by the Fault Delay Time. This is after taking into account the APS (Sub) 100% setting. |
In this situation the E-Throttle system is shut down and cannot be restarted until the ECU power has been cycled. The two accelerator position sensors aren't matching each other.

The APS (Main) input is or has been in a fault state. |
Wiring fault, the Analog input being used for APS (Main) has dropped below its error low or risen above its error high voltage. If using a CAN Analog then a period of 2s or more has passed without receiving a value. |
86 |
APS(Sub) Fault - E-Throttle |
