Possible Causes
Mower colliding with solid object at speed, Mis‑laid boundary wire too close to walls, Damaged impact sensor on chassis, Loose internal mounting of sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the mower and inspect the area where the error occurred.
- Check boundary layout: Ensure the boundary wire is laid at the recommended distance from walls, trees, and steps so the mower slows before contact.
- Inspect chassis: Look for cracks, bent plastic, or loose internal components that could cause false impact readings.
- Test operation: Move the mower to an open area and restart. If E16 appears immediately, the internal impact sensor or its mounting may be damaged.
- Repair: Replacement of the impact sensor or chassis components may be required if physical damage is found.
