Thanks for the reply! went back today and checked main drive pcb and LED is blinking. Just to see I disconnected all connectors and turned on machine and E046 still remains. All motors seem to turn. Unplugged machine for 5 min still E046. Is there a way to clear this error from the machine or do I need the sevice tool which I dont have waiting on customer to see if they have.

I have to say that when this happens to me, there is about a 95% chance that a staple is caught somewhere in that gear assembly under the lifter.

I have had issues with 9050,9080 and others. Have feed issues that when you push down they feed properly. To resolve this, I file out the hole that the plastic pins mount to so that I can slide each pin down about 1 mm or so. These are the plastic pins that the claws from the upper assembly hook onto to keep the upper unit closed. Around 3 million scans i have to do this. File the holes,slide the pins down about 1mm,tighten the screws. This causes the upper and lower read,platen and reg rolls to load against each other with more force. Works like a charm

I have a unit with over 5 million on it, and I'm getting jamming at the exit assembly. The paper sits right at the last rollers, is this related to your description? Sounds like a good idea to try this.

At 5 million all of the rollers in the machine are too small in diameter..smaller circumference causes too slow of a paper speed. The machine will jam but not physically. The timing windows are being exceded because of low paper speed and jams are declared. At 5 million I would replace all internal rolls(transport,platen/read rolls,delivery),gears,bearings, one way clutches and belts, static eliminator,actuators( i think there is one for delivery sensor on these), shading plate solenoid(lower...it is used for shading of top CIS for single sided face up reading). Canon rates these for 7 million I believe. You have 2 options...send in sales to replace it or gut it and do like I suggested and get another 5 million out of it.

Staples tend to get inside these machines..i change fried ultra sonic and main drive pcbs on a few because of staples

Thanks Canuck, I did the modification you suggested Friday, ironically as you submitted the suggestion about replacing all the other components. The mod worked like a charm, I'll be checking into the other rollers next visit there. Thanks again!
