Displayed during Field Service Test mode entry
From Tech Sheet W16260239, p.51:
1.Access service mode to confirm the active fault code and read stored error history.
2.Measure control board supply voltage at the test points. Expected: 12 VDC and 5 VDC; a drop below 4.75 VDC on the logic rail points to a failed onboard regulator.
3.Inspect all connectors on the main control for corrosion, thermal stress, or backed-out pins. Reseat each connector with the power disconnected.
