Issue discussion: '888' error during wheel start-up/autocalibration

Remco Van Dijk

Problem description:

When starting up the wheel, after the autocalibration routine has been done the wheel display shows '888' and it won't respond nor connect to the computer. Often, the wheel did not autocalibrate properly but turned all the way to the left (counterclockwise) and stays there with the motor pushing left continuously.

Possible causes and solutions:

1) Most often this is caused by a defective codewheel sensor. Contact Fanatec Support for a replacement sensor.

2) If a replacement codewheel sensor does not solve the problem, the main PCBA may need to be replaced. This needs to be taken up with Fanatec Support.
