| Check Engine (MIL) | AMBER | The engine control unit on your CPQD30 has identified a malfunction affecting emissions or performance. | Schedule a diagnostic check with maintenance as soon as possible; avoid heavy loads if possible. | |
| Engine Oil Pressure | RED | Engine oil pressure has dropped below safe levels, risking serious engine damage on your CPQD30. | Shut off the engine immediately and check oil level and leaks before restarting. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The alternator is not charging the battery, so your CPQD30 may lose electrical power soon. | Check the alternator belt and battery connections; do not continue operation until resolved. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | Your CPQD30's engine coolant temperature is excessively high, risking overheating. | Stop the forklift, allow the engine to cool, and inspect coolant levels and radiator for issues. | |
| Brake System | RED | A fault has been detected in the CPQD30's main brake system, compromising stopping ability. | Cease operation immediately and have the brakes inspected and repaired before use. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake on your CPQD30 is engaged; driving with it on can damage the system. | Release the parking brake before moving the forklift. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | Fuel level is low in the CPQD30's tank, risking engine shutdown if ignored. | Refuel at the next opportunity to avoid unplanned downtime. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A hydraulic system issue has been detected, which could affect lifting or steering functions on your CPQD30. | Inspect hydraulic fluid levels and check for leaks before resuming heavy lifting. | |
| Hydraulic Oil | AMBER | Hydraulic oil level or pressure is below recommended range, possibly affecting mast or tilt functions. | Top up or change hydraulic oil as needed and check for possible leaks. | |
| Fuel Filter / Water Separator | AMBER | Water or debris has accumulated in the fuel filter, which may cause engine hesitation on your CPQD30. | Drain water from the filter and replace it if necessary before continuing operation. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | The CPQD30 is due for scheduled maintenance based on operating hours. | Arrange for regular service to maintain performance and warranty coverage. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | The work lights are switched on, improving visibility around your CPQD30. | No action needed unless lights are not required. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | AMBER | The overhead beacon is active, alerting others to your forklift's movement. | No action required; ensure the beacon is functioning in busy environments. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The CPQD30 has detected a load exceeding its rated capacity, risking tip-over or damage. | Lower the load immediately and verify weight before attempting to lift again. | |
| Seat Belt | RED | The operator seat belt is not fastened while the CPQD30 is in use, creating a safety hazard. | Fasten the seat belt before operating the forklift. | |
| Air Filter | AMBER | The air filter is clogged or dirty, reducing engine efficiency on your CPQD30. | Inspect and clean or replace the air filter as soon as possible. | |
| Mast / Lift Limit | AMBER | The mast has reached its upper or lower limit, or the lift function is restricted for safety. | Adjust mast position and avoid forcing controls beyond limits. |
