Related to construction machinery, fault codes are specific codes generated by the machines’ inbuilt diagnostic systems to identify problems or malfunctions and indicate them to the operator or technician. These fault codes can vary by manufacturer and model, but some common types of fault codes are the following:

• Engine codes: These fault codes refer to problems in the construction machine’s engine, such as fuel system faults, exhaust gas recirculation problems or problems with sensors.
• Hydraulic codes: Fault codes that indicate problems in the construction machine’s hydraulic system, such as leaks, pressure drops or valve malfunctions.
• Electrical codes: These codes relate to electrical systems of the construction machine, such as battery problems, defective sensors, short circuits or interruptions in electrical lines.
• Transmission codes: Fault codes that indicate problems in the construction machine’s transmission or drive system, such as shifting problems, overheating or mechanical defects.
• Control codes: These error codes refer to problems with the control system or software of the construction machine, such as errors in programming, communication problems between control units or malfunctions in the user interface.

It is important to note that fault codes can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and from model to model. The exact meaning of each code is usually documented and explained in service or workshop manuals or operating instructions for the respective machine; however, if you do not have these to hand, repairs become a challenge. 

With the Navigator TXT MULTIHUB, however, this is no longer a problem, as the programme not only names the error code, but also provides further explanations for the repair. It therefore offers enormous added value for machine operators and technicians, who would otherwise often not even see the faults or only see number codes with no clear meaning. 

Problems can thus be effectively diagnosed and rectified, making manuals and instructions obsolete.
