Link G4 ECU Fault Codes
The following list shows possible ECU fault codes, causes and recommended solutions. If a fault is displayed that is not listed, contact us for further advice.
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.
Fault codes can be cleared by selecting Clear Fault Codes in the ECU Controls drop down menu.

Not Used |

69 |
Electronic Throttle Control Max Duty Cycle Reached |
E-Throttle duty cycle has been within +/-5% of its maximum value continuously for more than 2 seconds |
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 |
Electronic Throttle Control Max Duty Cycle Reached |
The E-Throttle duty cycle has been within +/-5% of its minimum value continuously for more than 2 seconds |
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 |
Electronic Throttle Motor Driver (Aux 9/10) Supply Error |
If the voltage level drops below 7.0V for a continuous period of at least 2 seconds this fault code will be generated. The Electronic Throttle Control will immediately be shut down and will not be allowed to re-activate until the ECU power is cycled. Note this is different to fault code 67 and indicates that Electronic Throttle Control was shut down |
Measure the supply voltage. Check for blown fuses |
72 |
Electronic Throttle Control Sensor Supply Voltage Error |
If the 5V supply is less than 4.85V for a continuous period of at least 2 seconds this fault code will be generated. Electronic Throttle Control will immediately be shut down and will not be allowed to re-activate until the ECU power is cycled |
|
73 |
Aux 9/10 Supply |
The voltage at the Aux 9/10 power supply pin was not as expected |
This error applies to IF user1Red END<%BIG_ECU%> ECUs only The Aux 9/10 power supply may have an electrical fault Check Aux 9/10 Supply runtime value (found under ECU Status runtime values). It should read similar to the Batt Voltage runtime value (found under Analog Inputs runtime values) Check fuses Check outputs wired to Aux 9 and Aux 10 are not shorted to ground |
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 |
Electronic Throttle Position Control Error |
Throttle Plate Position unable to track Target Position. In this fault state the throttle plate cannot maintain or achieve the desired target position. The Throttle Plate position and Target Position in steady state condition must remain at ALL times within +/- 2% of each other. When the Target position is changing the excepted tolerance is adjusted based on its rate of change. If this tolerance is exceeded for a continuous period of at least 2 seconds this fault code will be generated |
Redo TPS calibration procedure Check Electronic Throttle Control tuning Check mechanical operation of throttle actuator |
76 |
TPS Main and TPS Sub tracking Error |
Throttle Plate Position Signal Tracking Error. Expected relative position between TPS (Main) and TPS (Sub) has exceeded the specified tolerance of +/- 3.0% for a continuous period of more than 2 seconds. In this fault state the ECU must assume the throttle plate feedback to be invalid and that a problem exists with either with the TPS(Main) or TPS(Sub) signal. The ECU cannot detect which signal is invalid which means the plate position is effectively unknown and cannot be controlled |
Sensor Fault, test sensor Sensor Calibration Fault, recalibrate sensors |
77 |
FPS Main and FPS Sub tracking Error |
Foot Position Signal Tracking Error. Expected relative position between the FPS (Main) and FPS (Sub) has exceeded the specified tolerance of +/- 3.0% for a continuous period of more than 2 seconds. In this fault state the ECU must assume the foot position feedback to be invalid and that a problem exists with either with the FPS(Main) or FPS(Sub) signal. The ECU cannot detect which signal is invalid which means the foot position is effectively unknown. At this point the ECU will force a fault condition value to 5.0%. It should be noted that in this fault condition the ECU still has control over the throttle plate and this will continue to be controlled as normal which also means the Electronic Throttle Control isolating relay will remain ON |
