Realign the tray by releasing the pressure of the belts on both sides and Bob's your uncle!

The holddown mechanism can cause this. If you follow those fingers back to rest position, some of the finisher has felt/foam pads on the backing plate these rest on to quiet down slamming noise.
What happened is that those pads got tacky and intermittently would prevent those holdown fingers from firing at the right timing. And since the upper limit sensor watches this action, the absence of this holdown finger will have the tray move lower until it hit the middle sensor and trigger c8140.
best is to tape over the pads.
try it, all our Falcons and Saturns with this finisher have not called back.
by watching the finisher, i'm guessing the process happens this way:
- Paper comes out to tray A, holdown activate, upper limit checks holdown presence, if yes, readjust tray level.
- if no, wait (while tray keeps moving lower)........., mid sensor triggered, code 8140 triggered.

Idling colour developers are not healthy developers.
Removed the pad, never went back!
