Error Codes | Jungheinrich Etv 216
The ETV 216 is highly sensitive to battery health, especially with 80V or 48V lead-acid or lithium systems.
| Code | Description | Common Root Cause | Immediate Action | |------|-------------|--------------------|-------------------| | 121 04 | Battery undervoltage (cutoff during lift/lower) | Severely discharged battery or weak cell | Check specific gravity (flooded lead-acid) or cell voltages. Perform equalization charge. | | 121 14 | Battery overvoltage | Charger malfunction (overcharging) or regen energy with no absorption | Immediately stop truck. Check charger output voltage. Inspect contactor precharge circuit. | | 121 32 | Battery temperature sensor failure (BTS) | Sensor missing, broken wire, or sensor out of range (-40°C or +150°C) | Locate BTS on battery pack. Measure resistance (should be around 10k at 25°C). Replace sensor. | | 141 01 | Charger communication fault (CANbus) | Loose CAN H/L wires or incompatible charger profile | Check terminating resistors (120 ohm) on charger CANbus. Re-flash charger profile via Jungheinrich Service Tool. |
Meaning: The thermistor (NTC/PTC) inside the drive motor is open or short-circuited.
Symptoms: The truck reduces speed to 50% intermittently, even when cold.
Causes:
Solution:
Unlike older units with LED blinks, the ETV 216 typically uses the Jungheinrich CANcode system displayed on the onboard screen.

The ETV 216’s reach and lift functions are hydraulically controlled. Errors here often relate to the pump motor or valve spools. jungheinrich etv 216 error codes
| Code | Description | Common Root Cause | Immediate Action | |------|-------------|--------------------|-------------------| | 313 01 | Hydraulic pump motor overcurrent | Mechanical jamming in pump, hydraulic oil too thick, or shorted pump motor | Check oil viscosity (recommended HLP 32 or 46). Measure pump motor current with clamp meter. Replace pump if seized. | | 313 08 | Pump motor speed error (feedback missing) | AC motor encoder failure or broken belt between motor and pump | Inspect encoder on pump motor. Clean optical disc. Check 5V supply to encoder. | | 442 05 | Lift valve spool position error | Spool stuck due to contamination or coil failure | Manually actuate valve (carefully). Measure coil resistance (20–40Ω). Flush hydraulic block. | | 455 12 | Reach carriage limit switch timeout | Carriage did not retract within 2 seconds of command | Inspect limit switch LS101/LS102. Adjust cam or replace microswitch. | | 462 03 | Side-shift sensor short circuit | Wiring chafed on chassis or sensor destroyed | Inspect wiring from side-shift cylinder to FGC. Replace linear potentiometer. |
Meaning: The parking brake fails to release when the operator attempts to drive.
Symptoms: The truck will not move. You hear a relay click but no release.
Causes:
Solution:
| Aspect | Detail | |--------|--------| | Drive motor | AC asynchronous (3-phase), 4–6 kW | | Lift motor | DC series or AC (depending on year) | | Controller type | Jungheinrich EVO 80 / 100 / Curtis 1238 (late models) | | Brake type | Hydraulic (wet disc, spring-applied, electrically released) | | Common aging issue | Wiring chafing at mast tilt cylinder hoses – causes intermittent codes. |
