• Yale and Hyster Forklifts
• 2005 and newer Yale VX Series

• H30-35FT
• S40-70FT

1. 1

   Verify the software versions to ensure the APT and/or BIN files currently flashed to the VSM match the physical hardware of the truck

2. 2

   Check the CANbus network for peak load issues or communication errors

3. 3

   Inspect the VSM wiring harnesses and connectors for corrosion, moisture, or loose pins that could cause voltage drops or data corruption

1. 1

   Reprogram the VSM

   Using the Yale/Hyster PC Service Tool, re-flash the VSM with the correct, matching APT and/or BIN files for the specific truck's serial number.

2. 2

   Adjust CAN Load

   If the CAN communication has reached peak load, turn off dashboard monitoring to free up bandwidth.

3. 3

   Cycle Power

   Turn the truck off for at least 30 seconds, then turn it back on to see if the code clears.

4. 4

   Replace the VSM

   If the fault code persists after reprogramming and verifying connections, the VSM has suffered a permanent internal functional failure and must be replaced.

5. 5

   Calibration

   Install the new VSM. Note: A new VSM is shipped un-programmed. It must be calibrated and programmed with dedicated PC software on the truck itself. Once programmed, it is permanently dedicated to that specific forklift's serial number.
