JLG error code 84153 — BOOM LENGTH SENSOR 1 FAULTY - REPLACE/RECALIBRATE SENSOR

Q: What does code 84153 mean on a JLG lift?

BOOM LENGTH SENSOR 1 FAULTY - REPLACE/RECALIBRATE SENSOR. There are three ways (a, b, c) that these faults can be set: (a) If the length sensor voltage changes more than 0.0168 volts within 40 milliseconds a counter for the respective length sensor shall be incremented to aid service in diagnosing bad sensor performance. The counter below shall be incremented anytime the description above is met. It is cleared/reset by a power cycle BmLenSnsr(1/2)Fault-Counter PowerCycle > _ 20 (b) The counter below shall be incremented every time BmLenSnsr(1/2)FaultCounter _ PowerCycle (described above) reached its threshold. This value is stored in EEPROM in order to track the history of the issue. (A successful Boom Sensor Calibration will reset this counter - t

The descriptions are quoted from the manufacturer's service documentation and are for guidance only. Clearing codes, calibrations and repairs are carried out by a qualified service technician according to the manual for the specific serial number. A machine with an active blocking code must not be used until the cause has been removed.

Does code 84153 not go away?

RK Rental services JLG lifts at our workshop or on site at the customer's premises (construction site, factory, warehouse). We read the code, remove the cause and select the parts by serial number.
