For accurate diagnosis, you need software. The Jungheinrich proprietary tool (Service Lab) is expensive. Third-party options like CANdoDT or Linde/Jungheinrich CAN adapters with PCAN-View can read codes.
What to monitor in live data:
Meaning: The main truck controller (Master) has lost communication with the drive controller (Slave).
Symptoms: Erratic movement, sudden stop, or complete refusal to drive.
Causes:
Solution:
You don't always need a laptop. If the truck is beeping but still moves, try this procedure:
If the code returns immediately – you have a hardware problem, not a ghost in the machine.
For codes like Fault 115 (CAN Bus) or Fault 24 (Temp sensor) , the display only tells you something is wrong, not where. The official Jungheinrich Analyst software (or a CANalyzer setup) is required to read the sub-codes.
Sub-code example: Fault 115 - Sub 3 means "No communication with steering angle sensor."
Pro Tip: Aftermarket diagnostic adapters (like the "Jungheinrich CAN USB" cable) can work with PCAN-View, but you need the correct .DBC file for the ETV 216. Most independent technicians source these from third-party suppliers for ~$150. jungheinrich etv 216 error codes
| Aspect | Detail | |--------|--------| | Drive motor | AC asynchronous (3-phase), 4–6 kW | | Lift motor | DC series or AC (depending on year) | | Controller type | Jungheinrich EVO 80 / 100 / Curtis 1238 (late models) | | Brake type | Hydraulic (wet disc, spring-applied, electrically released) | | Common aging issue | Wiring chafing at mast tilt cylinder hoses – causes intermittent codes. |
Basic resetting of codes only works for temporary glitches. To truly master Jungheinrich ETV 216 error codes, you need access to the proprietary diagnostic software.

Step-by-step diagnostic procedure:
Warning: Do not attempt to reprogram controllers without proper training. Incorrect parameterization can lead to sudden uncontrolled movement. For accurate diagnosis, you need software
These relate to the traction motor, battery, or drive controller.
| Code | Description | Possible Cause / Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | E 101 | Drive Controller Fault | General electronics fault. Requires connecting a Jungheinrich diagnostic tool (ProDiag) to read the sub-code. | | E 102 | Throttle Sensor Fault | The accelerator pedal (hall sensor) signal is out of range. Check the pedal connection or replace the sensor. | | E 104 | Seat Switch / Seatbelt | The truck will not drive. Check if the seat switch is engaged or if the seatbelt is connected (if equipped with interlock). | | E 110 | Phase Fault / Motor Connection | Check the cable connections between the drive motor and the controller (U, V, W phases). | | E 112 | Speed Sensor Fault | Fault in the impulse encoder/speed sensor on the drive motor. | | E 115 | Battery Voltage Too Low | Voltage dropped below the cut-off limit. Charge the battery. | | E 116 | Battery Voltage Too High | Occurs often if the truck is plugged in while the key is on, or if the battery is overcharged. |
Meaning: The thermistor (NTC/PTC) inside the drive motor is open or short-circuited.
Symptoms: The truck reduces speed to 50% intermittently, even when cold.
