Some Taylor-Dunn vehicles show fault codes when a component of the vehicle is malfunctioning. Note that fault codes vary by product line.
Most faults are a result of a fault in the control system that will require service by a qualified Taylor-Dunn Dealer. The faults shown in this article are for reference only.
Fault Codes: BT-280, RE-380 R0-380, C-425, TT-316 DC, E-455, SC-100 24/36/48V, B-200, B-210
The display will indicate a fault code whenever the control system logic detects a problem with the control system. A fault code is being displayed whenever the Fault Code Indicator (the letter “F”) is visible at the left of the numeric display.
Refer to the fault code table below for description of the fault codes.

Description |
Action Required |
|
1 (No Flash) |
Time Out |
The charging cycle did not complete when expected. This could be due to deep discharge or faulty batteries. If the fault reoccurs, have the batteries tested by a qualified technician. |
|
2* |
Open circuit or reverse polarity to the battery |
Check the charger connections to the battery. |
|
3* |
Battery voltage too high |
Wrong charger installed. Confirm that the charger voltage matches the battery voltage. |
|
4 |
Charger overheated |
Check for dirt, mud, or other debris on the charger cooling fins and clean as needed. |
|
5* |
AC line voltage out of range |
**Check the input AC line voltage. The voltage must be within 85-135 VAC or 170-264 VAC |
|
6 |
Low battery voltage |
Battery discharged too deeply, faulty battery, or incorrectly wired battery. The charger will operate in low current mode until the battery voltage is up to a normal level then resume normal charging. If this fault does not reset, have the battery tested by a qualified technician and check the battery wiring. |
|
* |
These faults will be accompanied by an audible beep and indicates that the charging cycle was terminated prematurely. |

Fault Codes: G-100
Diagnostic Display Mode:
The EFI diagnostic display mode is for informational purposes only. Your Taylor-Dunn dealer can provide for all major repairs.
The diagnostic mode is accessible only when the check engine warning indicator activates after the key has been turned on. Leave the key on if you want to view the active code (failure code).
The diagnostic mode becomes inaccessible if the key is turned off and on and the warning indicator is no longer active. This allows the determination of persistent as well as intermittent faults.
Inactive codes are stored in the history of the unit.
Engine Error Codes
The error screen displays only when the CHECK ENGINE light is on or when it goes on and off during one ignition cycle. Error codes are not stored. When the key is turned OFF, the code and message is lost, but will reappear if the fault reoccurs after restarting the engine.
If the CHECK ENGINE light illuminates, retrieve the error codes from the display.
1. If the error codes are not displayed, use the MODE button to toggle until “Ck ENG” displays on the main line of the display.
2. Press and hold the MODE button to enter the diagnostics code menu.
3. Record the three numbers displayed in the gear position, clock and odometer displays.
4. Press the MODE button to advance to the next error code.
5. Press and hold the MODE button to exit the diagnostics code menu.
6. Your authorized Taylor-Dunn dealer can provide code details and diagnosis.
For full details on fault codes, refer to your Vehicle Operator and Service Manual.
To service a fault code, contact your authorized Taylor-Dunn Dealer. To find a dealer near you, use the Dealer Locator.
