Symptoms

How to Fix

  1. Read codes and check sensor data in real time when manually moving blinds
  2. Inspect the position sensor mount for any play or displacement
  3. Check the physical range of travel of the blinds - they should open and close completely

  5. Carry out the training/calibration procedure through a dealer scanner
  6. Replace the sensor or blind assembly if there is mechanical wear
