Possible Causes

Defective current sensing resistor on main PCB, Loose shunt connections, Faulty current sense amplifier IC, Internal short in motor causing abnormal current spikes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery before any inspection. Do not bypass current sensing components; they are critical safety devices.

  • Rule out blockages: First ensure there are no airflow blockages or brush jams that could cause genuine overcurrent.
  • Test on low power: If the vacuum runs longer on the lowest power setting but still triggers E09, the current sensing circuit may be misreading.
  • Visual inspection: If you can access the PCB, look for burned or cracked resistors near the battery input and motor driver area. Do not attempt component-level repair unless qualified.
  • Component replacement: In most home repair scenarios, the entire main PCB or motor unit is replaced rather than individual current sense parts.
  • Seek service: Because this fault affects safety and battery protection, have the unit serviced by Bosch or a qualified technician.
