86-01 Error 86:01 still there. I replaced encoder strip twice, encoder sensor. Carriage PCB and Mech PCB. I'm out of options now. Maybe the scan ax motor, but during scan ax test the motor moved to the middle and I can also take steps left and right. But sensor cant read the marks on the encoder strip. I replaced 2 times the strip and sensor.

Observe when 86:10 error appearing? after intializing the carriage or immediately after powering on?
# If immediately error appearing do the below discussed activity
# after intializing if error appearing check trailing cable,service station wipers & cappings,cutter position, cutter movement & lubrication on rail.
Detatch power cable & data cable,remove right door, pull out carriage assembly from service station area (if its locked by service station manually unlock it). Remove cable connections, screws & take out service station from the printer.Place the service station out side(ensure that cables has to fix properly) connect the cables,switch on the machine, check for the error..
if error is not appearing: check the service station, found any damage replace it or shoot the problem.fix it back..
*even error is appearing: Remove carriage belt from the pully..check carriage movement, if found any hardness/obstruction? shoot the problem.
Finaly: check trailing cable( while carraige movement some tracks may lose their continuty)
Power supply.. ( check voltages)
