Genie DC and FE electric boom lifts (Z-60 DC, S-60 DC, Z-45 DC, Z-45 FE, Z-33/18 DC)

Genie error code 66-17 — Secondary Boom Angle Sensor — Not Calibrated

Q: What does code 66-17 mean on a Genie lift?

Secondary Boom Angle Sensor — Not Calibrated. The Genie display shows code 66-17 with the message “Secondary Boom Angle Sensor — Not Calibrated”. It is a warning: some functions of the machine may be limited until the cause has been removed. Effect on the machine: Act as if in Out of Stowed position · elevated drive speed · no elevated drive due to tilt drive cutout on CE units Note: Driving at 2 MPH is allowed if primary and secondary angle sensors are calibrated and the mV value is close to the calibrated, stowed value

Q: What should I do when a Genie shows code 66-17?

Solution: Verify: · 5V from TCON C19- 8 thru C3-15 to sensor C15-C · B- from C19-9 thru C3- 16 to C15-A · Signal Output approximately 1000 - 4000 mV across range of motion at TCON C19-10 GY thru C58-5 from C15- B (C124 SBS RD/WH) · Cycle Power with problem corrected to clear fault To Calibrate: Stowed mV must be between 3600 & 4400 mV Elevated mV must be between 600 & 1400 mV Clearing the code and calibrations are carried out by service according to the manual for the machine's serial number.

warning / function limited

The Genie display shows code 66-17 with the message “Secondary Boom Angle Sensor — Not Calibrated”. It is a warning: some functions of the machine may be limited until the cause has been removed.

Effect on the machine: Act as if in Out of Stowed position · elevated drive speed · no elevated drive due to tilt drive cutout on CE units Note: Driving at 2 MPH is allowed if primary and secondary angle sensors are calibrated and the mV value is close to the calibrated, stowed value

Possible causes

Calibration not completed

What you can do

Switch the machine off with the emergency stop and switch it on again. If the code comes back, do not use the machine and call service.
