Caution Codes
Code Hot1 (C44)
Code Title Motor Temperature Hot Cutback
Operator Display Hot1

Reason Traction motor temperature above 248°F (120°C). Resistance of temperature sensor
should be approximately 91 Ohms at room temperature.
Tests to Run Verify the Traction Amp is hot. If it is not, disconnect JP7 at the traction motor and
measure continuity. The resistance increases as the temperature increases. At
212°F (100°C), the resistance of the temperature sensor is approximately 100
ohms. At room temperature, the resistance is approximately 91 ohms. If it is,
determine the cause by checking for mechanical drag such as brakes dragging,
gear box issue, or load wheel binding. Check the current through U, V and W and
verify that they are even. See “Service Input/Output Displays” on page 3-17. Check
for mechanical binding or brake drag.

ETAC Software Update Information
and Descriptions
8HBW30, 8HBC(E)30-40 and 8TB50
SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN
Subject: ETAC Software Update Information and Descriptions Page 1 of 2
MODEL APPLICATION:
8HBW30, 8HBE30-40, 8HBC30-40 and 8TB50
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Two new software versions are currently available and are downloadable from the TMHU
Portal via TIS (Toyota Information System).
REPAIR INFORMATION:
This bulletin explains the software version information including a description of changes and
additions to each software versions.
1. Error code C88 can be logged with older versions of PSU software. Loading a new version
of code with Flashware should correct this issue. If loading the new version does not correct
the C88 error code, the PSU must be replaced.
2. A Code C78 now causes the VM to command the truck to plug to a stop on tow
tractors with Electric Steer.
3. Previous versions of software would not record or display two error codes that are
detected by the power amp, E150 and E235. The traction system would shut
down in these cases, but no error would be reported. This version now records
and displays the errors.
4. Travel speed will now be consistent when in a slight turn with or without a load.
5. Auto steer center is now enacted any time the main contactor is disabled then
re-enabled on an electric steer truck. If the throttle is engaged while an auto steer
center is in progress, an HPd will be displayed. Traction is disabled until the
throttle is returned to neutral.
6. The maximum steering angle on an Electric Steer tow tractor can be adjusted
from 20 degrees through 80 degrees based on direction of travel (default is 80
degrees in both directions). Use parameter #22 for forks-first maximum steer
angle and parameter #23 for tractor-first maximum steer angle.
7. Instances of nuisance error codes C74, C86, and C88 have been reduced on trucks
equipped with a PSU.
Subject: ETAC Software Update Information and Descriptions Page 2 of 2
The following software is being used in current production effective serial numbers:
8HBW30-40402, 8HBE30-42456, 8HBE40-40109, 8HBC30-40089, 8HBC40-40014 and
8TB50-40629
1. Added a minimum delay of 400 milliseconds between back to back lifts to

prevent contactor chatter.
2. Added more options to Travel Alarm (Parameter 16) so that travel and battery cutout
alarm can occur at the same time on 8TB50 trucks. The battery cutout alarm sounds slightly
different and takes priority over the travel alarm.
0=No Alarm
1=Tractor-First Travel
2=Forks-First Travel,
3=All Travel
4=Low Battery
5=Low Battery and Tractor-First Travel,
6=Low Battery and Forks-First Travel
7=Low Battery and All Travel
3. Changed the following on electric steer trucks:
a. Reduced logging of C88 error codes by increasing the steering speed during auto steer
center.
b. Made steer centering more accurate. The time allowed for completion was also increased.
c. Re-Enabled backlash parameter setting for electric steer tow tractors sent to the PSU from
the VM when the key is turned ON to eliminate the clunking sound some tow tractors made
when steering.
4. Parameter 11 will now show up on all 8HBC30-40 and 8TB50 trucks. On trucks
without electric steer, the parameter must be set to 0 or the travel function will
be disabled.
5. Added a drop down for Toyota 8HBC3040/8TB50 Trucks in FlashWare.
Changed Truck code to automatically set/clear the Tow bit based on the
configured model. Setting the Truck as Model 8HBC30/40 will clear the Tow bit.
Setting the Truck as Model 8TB50 will set the Tow bit.
6. Added detection of LOS (Limited Operating Strategy) mode being reported by the
Power Amp. This does not change truck functionality because the Amp is already
limiting the truck speed, but now an error code will be displayed (Code 72) when
the Truck is in LOS mode.

included in the ETAC software version 1.9 for the 8TB50 with power steering.
The update includes:

• Addition of new Code C94.
• Changes to Code C81
SERVICE INFORMATION:
Flashware software file name is: 915A0019.s19.
Install software 915A0019.s19 and PSU (Power Steer Unit) software 915A9160.s19 for the
Code C94 to be enabled. If either of the new software versions are combined with an older
software version, the C94 code will not be displayed.
Code C94 information:

Code C94 has been added to identify lower steer unit sum of analog inputs out-of-range
conditions. See page 6-28 of the 8 series pallet truck service manual 00700-CL398-13 issued
May 6, 2013 for troubleshooting information.
C94 is similar to C81 except C94 attempts to detect the out-of-range condition sooner using a
smaller range and where C81 will disable steering and plug the truck to a stop; C94 leaves the
steering enabled and slows the truck to 1.7 mph.
System Response in the event of a C94:

- The horn will beep three times in rapid succession.
- Steering remains enabled but travel is de-rated to 1.7 mph.
- If the out-of-range condition returns to normal before the handle is lifted to the brake
position, the code is cleared when the handle is lifted and normal operation is resumed.
Change made to Code C81:

- If the out-of-range condition returns to normal while the truck is plugging to a stop,
steering will be re-enabled.

C81 Code – Steer Potentiometer
Subject: C81 Code – Steer Potentiometer Page 1 of 9
MODEL APPLICATION:
Some customers have reported code C81 at low hour meter readings.
This code may be caused by the carbon steer potentiometer. A solid state potentiometer
(P/N 00590-51016-71) is now available as a replacement. Follow the instructions on the
following pages when replacing a carbon steer potentiometer with a solid state potentiometer.
Use FlashWare and install VM software version 1.9 or higher (915A0019.s19) and PSU
software version 160 or higher (915A9160.s19).
Note: Please be sure to re-learn the steering using Flashware after installation.
Steering Potentiometer Replacement instructions for Solid State Potentiometer
1. Remove the Control Handle (P/N 00590-50709-71):

a. Remove the (4) screws around the bezel.
b. Lift the entire assembly out of the handle bracket.
c. The cable is retained in the bracket and can be removed by releasing the retainer at
bottom of bracket.
2. Remove the (2) screws in the face of the cover. Remove the (2) screws on the side of the
cover, then remove the cover.
Note: The screws in the plastic on the face are coarse thread, the screws in the side are fine
thread.
3. Remove the (2) screws in the cover.

4. Remove the cover over the cable, cut the wire tie, and remove.
5. Remove the (4) screws indicated to separate the control handle. Unplug the (2) connectors
on the harness, one from the side of the housing, one at the base of the handle. Cut the wire
ties at the holders. Note where the cables were tied and length of the service loop left
available. Remove the entire cable assembly and potentiometer. These will be replaced with
the new Solid State Steering potentiometer/cable.
6. Connect the new potentiometer and cable assembly (P/N 00590-51016-71) to the housing
and the proximity sensor cable. Use a wire tie to secure the cables to the yellow wire tie pad.
7. Rotate the wire tie so the end rests on either side of the cables but not on top for clearance
reasons.
8. Reassemble in the upper handle with (4) screws. It is important to torque these screws to 12
in. lbs. (1.35 Nm).
CAUTION: Over torqueing can cause throttle to bind. Test operation of the throttle to verify
return to center when activated.
9. Assemble the upper handle assembly back into the mounting bracket. Push the cable
retainer at the end of the new cable into the retainer hole in the bracket before lowering the
handle. Route the cable between the front edge of the bracket and post on the lower bearing.
10. Insert the potentiometer into the cavity at the base of the handle.
11. The shaft of the potentiometer must engage the “D” shaped opening in the bottom bearing.
Refer to the picture below to see the indexing feature on the lower bearing for the
potentiometer.
12. Replace the two screws that mount the potentiometer with M3 x 16 mm screws (P/N
00590-51061-71). Apply thread-locking compound (P/N 00590-04864-71) to the screws. Install
the cover over the loomed cable with the larger loom opening oriented out away from the
handle and the smaller towards the handle. Make sure no wires are caught under the flanges
of the cover when assembled.
13. Wire tie cables together as shown. Make sure to maintain a service loop for the handle to
rotate up and down.
14. Replace the two lower covers.
15. Install the (4) screws around the perimeter of the top bezel.
NOTE: Do Not use thread-locking compound on the bezel screws or near the plastic.
16. Replace the Resistor Module shown below with a jumper (P/N 00590-52188-71).
17. Inspect splices SPL11, SPL12, and SPL13 to verify complete crimps were performed.
Note: SPL11 can sometimes be buried in the center of the harness.
Make sure there is a crimp on both the wire area and the insulation area of the splice.
If a crimp is weak or missing, manually crimp and document what needed to be done.
Replace any removed cable ties.
18. Install new Vehicle Manager software (version 1.9 or higher) into the truck using Flashware
5.5 or above.
19. Install new Power Steer Unit software (version 160 or higher) into the truck using
Flashware 5.5 or above.
20. Relearn steering using Flashware 5.5 or above and test the function of the truck before
returning the truck to service.
