Error Code E CO
Communication error between main MICOM and display MICOM
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: E CO
What This Means
Poor communication connection (hinge wiring); Defect of Tx or Rx on display or main PCB
How to Fix
- 1
Step 1: Check all connector harness connections, especially the hinge pass-through wiring between Main PCB and Display PCB.
- 2
Step 2: Measure CON101 pin 18 to pin 16. Expected: 12V. If not 12V, check the hinge wiring for loose connection; if hinge is OK, replace Main PCB.
- 3
Step 3: Measure CON101 pin 10 to pin 16. Expected: 5V. If not 5V, check hinge connection; if OK, replace Main PCB.
- 4
Step 4: Measure CON101 pin 14 to pin 16. Expected: not fixed at 0V or 5V (data line). If fixed at 0V or 5V, replace Display PCB.
- 5
Step 5: Measure CON101 pin 12 to pin 16. Expected: not fixed at 0V or 5V. If fixed, replace Main PCB.
- 6
Step 6: Measure CON5 pin 4 to pin 3. Expected: not 0V or 5V. If fixed, replace Display PCB.
- 7
Step 7: Measure CON5 pin 5 to pin 3. Expected: not 0V or 5V. If fixed, replace Main PCB.
- 8
Step 8: If all voltages are correct, explain to customer.
