Likely causes

How to fix or prevent it

  1. Check power and fuses to the part.
  2. Check wiring and the driver.
  3. Check whether a safety interlock is holding it.
  4. Free or replace a stuck valve; clear a blocked line.

What the HEART does by itself

It raises an error alert when a command has no effect, and often system.main-function-lost too. It does not keep commanding the part, and never works around an interlock.

When to call service

Usually: actuators run on power that needs care, such as mains, high current or pressure.


Inside a message a code is written bare, "code": "storage.full". In logs, tickets, documents and searches it is written HEART storage.full. Things that simply happen, such as system.started, are event types, not faults. The codes are defined in Part 3, Section 5.4, and their H-numbers in Section 5.7. All of it, as data: fault-codes.json.
