Voltage Converter/Inverter
Direct Current/Alternating Current (DC/AC) Inverter (Overview)

Function indicator

WARNING: For workshop repairs, it is only permissible to replace the converter as a complete unit together with the wiring harness and the socket. The component must not be opened, as charged capacitors inside can still carry dangerously high residual voltages.

The LED in the socket lights up orange when the converter is supplying a voltage.

In the event of a fault the system switches off and indicates the cause of the fault by flashing a trouble code via the LED in the socket:

• 1x flash

High temperature

• 2x flashes

Overload

• 3x flashes

Internal overvoltage

• 4x flashes

Internal undervoltage

• Continuous flashing

Short circuit to power

If the converter switches off due to high temperature then it switches back on again automatically once the temperature has cooled down sufficiently.

With all of the other faults which are displayed, the converter can be reset by switching the ignition off and back on again or by unplugging and reinserting the consumer in the socket.

If these measures are unsuccessful then there are no further options for directly influencing the function yourself.
