TRACTION DESCRIPTION OF STATUS
STATUS CODE
Shorted thermal protector (TP) or
-41
transistor over temperature.
MEMORY RECALL
YES
SYMPTOM
Reduced or no power to traction motor in

control range.
for
Traction
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Control is in thermal cut back.
Controller
•
Defective control.
•
(Values of less than 1.5 V at the thermal
protector are typically indicative of a failed
control.)
GE Sentry for Windows software can be
used to monitor control operation, and it will
display a value for the thermal protector
that is greater than 84 (corresponding to
1.65V), triggering this status code.
TRACTION DESCRIPTION OF STATUS
STATUS CODE
Motor armature offset voltage is too

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Traction
Defective control.

•
GE Sentry for Windows software can
be used to monitor control operation,
and it will display a value for the motor
amps that is greater than 133,
(corresponding to 2.6V), triggering this
status code.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Allow control to cool, status code
should disappear.
Replace controller unit.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Replace controller unit.
CAUSE OF STATUS INDICATION
This status code will be displayed when the voltage at
the thermal protector is too low.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING DIAGRAM
CAUSE OF STATUS INDICATION
This status code will be displayed when the value of
motor amps is greater than 133 (corresponding to 2.7
volts) with no current flowing in the motor circuit.
