Espar Airtronic fault codes and Eberspacher Hydronic fault codes

When your Heater is acting up it will give out a fault code or error code to help you understand the problem. Find out what these codes mean and what you can do to remedy the problem.

No matter whether it’s a connectivity issue, fuel shortage, incorrect connections, under or over voltage, heaters show fault codes that can narrow down your investigation. However multiple fault codes can even cause a heater-lockout. Below is a list of all Espar Airtronic and Hydronic fault codes with explanations and potential remedies.

The heater has a fault that can only be repaired by a specialist.

Visit an authorised Eberspächer Workshop.

There are faults stored in memory.

The heater control box was undervoltaged without interruption for at least 20 seconds.

Check the battery for a drop in voltage.

Charge battery or replace, if necessary.

Overvoltage applied at the heater control box without interruption for at least 20 seconds.

Check battery and replace, if necessary.

Fault in the fuel supply or fuel pump.
