JCB JS145W, JS160W, JS20 MH Wheeled Excavator Operator Manual

Fault codes on a JCB JS145W can be acknowledged and cleared by pressing the "enter button" on the DECU (Display Electronic Control Unit) when the fault icon and code are displayed on the screen. This action will silence the buzzer and clear the code, though the fault indicator will remain on if the fault is still active. To acknowledge all active faults, press the enter button on the active error log screen.

To reset the service interval for an engine oil change on a JCB JS160W, perform the oil change and then cancel the engine oil change symbol and fault indicator by pressing the "enter button" on the DECU. The display will then set the time for the next service event from the moment the enter button was pressed.

To enable hydraulic controls (safety lockout), ensure the controls isolation lever is in the down position and the slew lock and isolator switches are off. Then, depress the foot brake pedal until it locks 'on'. To release residual hydraulic pressure, operate the hand controllers several times after turning the ignition key to 'on' and lowering the controls isolation lever, then push the rubber boot on the hydraulic tank breather.

The manual states that when a critical fault is active, the DECU will display a 3 or 4 digit fault code and a fault icon, with the fault indicator illuminating red and a buzzer sounding. For service faults, the indicator is amber. However, the manual describes the display behavior and severity but does not provide a comprehensive list of specific error codes and their meanings.

For the JCB JS160W, the wheel nuts (M24) should be tightened to a torque of 500 N·m, with a checking torque of 475 N·m. The manual also recommends checking wheel nut torques every two hours on new machines or after a wheel change until they remain correct.
