I found out recently that this has been happening for a while. A job completes, then the machine errors out C0213. For a long time it was once a week. It has become more frequently ... now at the conclusion of every job it codes to C0213, then clears upon initialization.
PS9 uses those notoriously unreliable Sharp73 optical sensors, so I changed that first. No change.
I can test it in I/O mode 86-18 with the drawer open. When I rotate the pressure release motor until the slot aligns with the photointerrupter the output changes from "00000" to "00001". I can tug on the wiring all I want and the signal stays, so I've ruled out wiring harness & connector issues.
If I close the drawer, key the front door, and run 86-18 again the motor M37 runs continuously, and I can view the "00001" blink on for a microsecond each rotation ... not every time, but I think it's just slowness of the display that prevents me from seeing a 00001 for each rotation.
I have plenty of those sensors, three more photointerrupters responded exactly the same way.
The drive is entirely intact: no missing teeth, nothing bound up. It turns as easily as any other pulse motor.
Since the motor M37 runs flawlessly every time I test it, as long as I want, I think I can safely rule out the motor, but I ordered one anyway since it's the next cheapest thing.
That only leaves me with the drawer PWB and the PRCB. I was really hoping that would not be the cause.
Maybe firmware? It seems like a long shot.
Have I missed something obvious? =^..^=
EDIT: Just reading about the exit section one-way gears. I'm having a hard time mentally connecting them to that code, but I will look there first. =^..^=
