130 = FRONT ECU

131 = REAR ECU

Explanation

The ECU has counted the number of steps on the plastic strip between the stabiliser fully retracted and the stabiliser fully extended positions and has either over-counted or under-counted compared to the correct number of steps.

This could mean that the magnetic sensor is too close or too far away from the magnets embedded in the plastic strip.

Causes

• Magnetic sensor incorrect distance from magnets on stabiliser extension strip
• Faulty magnetic sensor

Operator Actions

• Use override code to continue operation
• Request service

Service Tasks

• Check the SENSOR VALUES screen under the STABILISERS menu item and observe the count as the leg travels in and out. It is often possible to see where exactly on the strip the magnetic sensor cannot read the magnets properly. The counter should increment evenly as the leg moves. If the counting stops in some sections then the problem may be in that area of the stabiliser extension strip.
• Ensure the plastic strip is lined up along the length of the leg by taking the magnetic sensor off the stabiliser housing. Look through the hole as the leg moves in and out. The plastic strip should remain centred in the hole through the entire length. If it does not it may need to be re-aligned.
• If the magnetic sensor is not sensing any magnets at all then check the wiring and the power to the sensor. If there are no problems with the wiring the sensor may be faulty and should be replaced.
