The EJE 120 uses a magnetic or optical encoder on the end of the drive motor. If this sensor gets dirty, wet, or fails electronically, the signal breaks down.

Before you connect a laptop or diagnostic tool, you will likely observe these physical symptoms:

When code 4372 is active, the EJE 120 exhibits one or more of the following behaviors:

After physical repair:

  • Test lift cycle 5 times to full height and back down.
  • Expected voltage:
  • Deviation (e.g., 12V or floating) indicates wiring fault or controller input damage.

    • In plain English: The main truck controller (Master) has stopped receiving vital data from the top control module.

    The "Top" module refers to the electronics housed inside the tiller arm head—the handle you grip to steer. This module contains:

    When the main controller loses contact with this module, it enters a "Safe State." It assumes the operator cannot control speed or lifting, so it disables all hydraulic and drive functions.

    If your EJE 120 uses a weak battery or has corroded battery terminals, the voltage reaching the top module may dip below 18V during a lift command. The logic board requires stable 24V nominal; if it browns out, it stops communicating, throwing code 4372.
