Question:

What does the error code 17E or 17C mean and how can I resolve it?

Answer:

The error code 17E or 17C indicates a Sparkling Sensor issue. This error typically occurs when the Open Sensor is suspected to be below -50 degrees C or the Short Sensor is suspected to be over 65 degrees C. To resolve this issue, first check the temperature of both sensors and then either adjust the temperature or replace the faulty sensor accordingly.

Terms:

Sparkling Sensor: A device that detects sparkling (small electrical discharges) during the manufacturing process.

Open sensor: A sensor that measures the temperature of an open area.

Short sensor: A sensor that measures the temperature of a closed area.

Below -50 degrees C: The temperature range in which the open sensor may be malfunctioning.

Over 65 degrees C: The temperature range in which the short sensor may be malfunctioning.
