JUKI error E302: Machine head tilt detected

Machine head tilt detected. The head-tilt safety switch is open. Either the head really is tilted back, or the switch, its cable or its connector on the board is faulty.

Shown on JUKI machines including 910N, AMS-210E, AMS-210EN, AMS-221EN, DDL-8700B, DDL-9000CF, DDL-9000CS, DDL-900A, DLU-5494N, DP-2100, LBH-1790A, LK-1900A and others.

What to check

  1. Put the head back upright and reset.
  2. If it still shows with the head upright, check the safety switch, its cord and the connector on the control board (CN67 on the LK-1900A INT board).

Switch the machine off before touching any connector. If the code comes back after these checks, the fault is usually in the control boxes, PCBs and sensors.
