Toshiba E2500C C445 code

[multitech]

Intermittant c445 code. firmware at ver 314. Fuser is rebuilt. Thermopile good. Anyone had this problem.

What was the status counter in 08-400

did it do it b4 fuser rebuild?

[multitech]

08 sub code was 52 which is C445. machine did it before rebuild. different fuser rebuilt and installed

[fireater]

08-400 was 52? hmmm not in sercvice manual

I can't remember the codes I got in the past but if you just rebuilt the fuser check the AC wire going to the LHR lamp. If you don't watch when you put it back together it will get pinched and eventually short to ground causing some code or another.

i used to have techs put the wrong length screws in the e-16's and e 230 lamps .. they would bottom out leaving a loose connection on the lamp ends

but..

1,2,3,4. Check the thermopiles, Heater and LGC board
Check the above components following the procedures 1, 2,3 and 4 for [C411/C412].
5. Clear the status counter
Change the current status counter value (08-400) "3", "5", "6", "9", "19", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25", "27"
or "29" to "0" for [C44X], taking the same procedure as that for [C41X].
• The status counter value is as follows in the following cases.
- The error occurred during warming-up: "3", "5" or "6"
- The error occurred after the equipment has become ready: "7"
- The temperature detected by the fuser belt center thermopile is 230°C or higher, the temperature
detected by the side thermopile is 230°C or higher or the temperature detected by the
edge thermopile is 230°C or higher: "9", "19", "21", "22", "23", "25", "27" or "29".
- The error occurred during printing: "24" or "25"
- The error occurred during energy saving: "27"

- A paper jam occurred: "29"

there is no 08-400 status code of 52 i can find..

now a 25 i can see ... if its 25 i agree check for shorts to ground... sound like a lamp is staying on... youmay have to rig the door and look at all three lamps (if possible) see if they all turn on and off by using the proper test command



side note i notice in manual page 15-10

Remark:
• If the fuser unit error status counter (08-400) is "35" or over (e.g., 40), the data in NVRAM or NVRAM itself
may possibly have been ruined due to causes such as leakage from the chargers.
Check the bias, high-voltage transformers and needle electrodes to see if any of them is defective,
and also look through all the data in the NVRAM.

You may want to check the machine side fuser connector. These can crack from techs shoving the fuser back into place a little too rough. Difficult to replace as it requires repalcing harness along with the connector. Poor connection generates this code. EMujo
