An exhaust high temperature fault occurs when the exhaust

seconds. At which point the control will enter fault cool down

This diagnostic code occurs if the control senses a blockage
in the coin input. If the coin input is blocked for more than 8
seconds the control will go to out of order and will not allow
the control to start a cycle. This fault has both automatic and
manual fault clearing. If the condition is corrected the control
will recover from out of order immediately after the blockage
is no longer seen.

This fault occurs when the control has lost communication
with the Debit Card reader. When this fault occurs the control
will log the fault and will display D16 on the display instead of
the cycle price information.
