For the Skyjack SJ20, a driver short circuit is indicated by error codes such as M241-COIL_ERRXX (short circuit coil EVAUX) or S138-SERVICE (service mode short circuit control pilot coil). These errors mean a short circuit has been detected in the respective coil or control pilot circuit, which can affect machine operation and may require service intervention to resolve the electrical fault.
