Thread: Will not scan

  1. #1

    Default Will not scan

    I'm trying to scan, went though the steps to set it up; but when I press 1 to proceed with scan, it goes to the start point and stop. Anyone know what the issue is?

    If you go to Options and Sensor Data, can you see the probe data change states when you touch the probe?

    And you have your machine setup for getting the probe data from the cover, correct?

    Default troubleshooting probe

    Have you used the probe at all or is it something that just happened. I Had a problem after they repaired mine and replaced the truck. Mine had been used but plugged into the truck. When I set the location to Cover, no go. As Al posted, there is a menu option that allows you to check all your sensors status such as pressure switches & the probe. I'm not sure of the naming or number of the choices. I've attached a PDF I made when I worked on mine, turned out to be the controller board. Early model and the probe used on the cover had probably never been tested.
    Good luck,
    Rick H.

    Rick, I purchased my probe when I purchased the machine, a few years back. Never used the probe, this is actually the first time I needed to scan something. If I remember correctly, I never had the connection on the Z truck, but I did have to upgrade the Z truck to the newer version. I will have to do some reading to see if I can find the sensor test option for the probe, cause I really can't find it. I have found the sensor test option, but non for the probe, so I'm not sure what is going on, it just maybe that I missed something, will have to recheck. Thanks for the data sheet.

    I just went through the probe manual again, and everything works just fine, except the "proceed with scan" when I hit enter, it starts and then stops at the starting point and the LCD goes back to the scan menu. I still have not been able to find a probe sensor option.
