Torqeedo 1003 error codes 45 and 30

[paulajayne]

There are two connections to the battery pack one is power etc down to the motor and the other is to the tiller.

If the battery does not become active until a circuit is made in the tiller assy. then difficult to tell which is the pos /neg.

One can either bridge all of the tiller pins to clear any capacitors therefore clearing error code memory or as an alternative leave it disconnected until such a time as any wiggle amps left it it have dissipated. How long this will take is unknown.

The unit is not working and at present looks like a visit to a Torqeedo engineer.

Discharging the units memory may resolve the error codes.

In post 37, you replied to me by saying "You know not of what you speak sir."

It's now apparent that you certainly don't!

Please elucidate on what to perceive to be my error.

It's obvious that you're just randomly stabbing in the dark.

That is not an answer. If you are such an expert tell me where I am wrong.

Just read the thread again, you'll see that your comments suggest you don't know much about Torqeedo electronics. Maybe Bouba will follow your advice, or maybe he'll get it fixed properly.

Apparently there was a problem with the older Torquedo's of manufacturer error of one of the O-rings allowing water ingress. From the below thread it looks like they have supposed to have sorted it, but you never know

Still no straight answer.

Care to explain why discharging the units memory could not remove the error codes.
Once cleared and reconnected it will go through its programmed start up sequence and either be OK or indicate faults.
The current codes held in memory could stop a normal start up. Depends upon how the unit is coded (programmed).

I'll let Bouba decide whether to follow your "advice". I wouldn't mess about with my Torqeedo's electronics.

Ok, tomorrow I will contact the French Torqeedo Service Center. I don’t know if they are an ‘essential service’ so they may or may not be open.
If they are closed, it means waiting a month plus whatever backlog they would have accumulated by then?
This picture is, I would like to tell you, of happier Torqeedo times but it could have been from the day it packed up

The dog has a guilty expression to me, did he relieve himself over it

I have the E45 error. Pretty sure it's because my 1003 spent 4 days at the bottom of the river. That would tie in with the report of E45 "over-current" error being caused by water ingress! I tested just my leg with a friend's battery and tiller, so I very much doubt there was any error code stored in the leg. The friend's outboard worked fine before and after I borrowed his bits to test my leg. I very much doubt that an error code could somehow be stored in the leg, and could be reset somehow. Hope this helps. In my case, I'm due a visit to the Service Centre I think.

If it’s water ingress then prepare yourself in case it is not good news?

Bouba, just out of interest, what turned out to be the issue with your outboard?

It was a circuit board (near the head, so as far from the water as possible) but I was warned that if water gets in the seals it’s only value is as a paperweight

It is supposed to be water proof to IP67. I.e. submersed up to 1m underwater for up to 30 minutes with no water ingress at all.

And you said it was a river? So that might help I guess. Torqeedo did have a problem with their seals at one time, I believe. Also I think that you are supposed to have them serviced every few years, I’m not sure many people do that

hello I have the same problem as you with torqeedo 1003 always errors e45 e30 and in assistance they cannot find the problem even after replacing the pcb ... you were able to solve? what was his problem? thank you

Hi Gian, yes my Torqeedo was repaired...It stopped working and I had two error codes but I can’t remember if they are the same ones as you. I think I was lucky because when they first looked at it they said it cannot be repaired with those codes. But luckily it was dry inside. If seawater had got inside then it would be thrown away. All I remember is that they replaced the main circuit board, it cost about €350 just for the repair because I took it to the repair center myself....otherwise it would be another €100 for transport. This was about two years ago...all of the Torqeedos in the repair shop took a long time because they were short of every part.
I am sorry but that is all I remember
