Error Number
TEST 06 FAILED
Error Code / System Message
TEST 06 FAILED - Programmable interval timer test failed
Error Question
What does TEST 06 FAILED mean on a GE AMX-Series mobile X-ray?
Short Answer
TEST 06 FAILED: Programmable interval timer test failed.
Possible Causes
Timer 1 cannot be checked because the program does not have direct control of it's input gate. Initialize timer 0 for 16 kHz and timer 2 for 120 kHz, Count pulses to verify frequency. Check output 2 for 50% duty cycle. Error Code 85 Hex is recorded in the Error Log for a failure. Timer could not generate the required interval/count behavior.
Troubleshooting Steps
Check 82C54 timer, HC151 8 to 1 MUX, oscillator, and all associated circuitry. Check interval-timer IC/clock and associated CPU circuitry.
Parts Areas to Check
CPU board; memory/timer/A-D circuitry identified by the test
