OKI MC861+ Fatal Error 142

[jonbonse]

I have error 142 on a MC861+ which is an ID up/Down error.

I can see the drums moving up and down so I suspect the ID up/down sensor.

I am struggling to find this in the parts guide and wondered if anyone here would know if it is part of another assembly..

Thanks

If I remember , its part of the board on the left side. Did you check the motor in test mode, with and without drums? Couple of times I had this code on that copier, it was due to binding mechanism. Cleaning and greasing was ok.

is the ITB seated properly? I have seen it where it was not seated correctly and caused this error.

Thanks!
I didn’t check the motor because I could see the drums lifting when I fooled the top cover.
Is it a strip down to gain access to the lift mechanism?

I had them change the cyan drum and it worked for a couple of days....

Also is the board on the left side when looking at the printer from the front?

thanks
