Symptom
Not specified
Diagnosis & fix steps

Red Seal field insights
This is often a "Low Voltage" glitch. If the batteries are weak during cold weather in Ontario, the EPIC system will "reboot" mid-crank and throw a SYS FAULT.
Variant 2
System
EPIC
Symptom
Beeper/Red Light.
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Microprocessor detected an internal logic error or comm loss.
ACTION: Access the EPIC diagnostic screen to scroll through specific fault names (e.g., Node 1, Node 2).
Red Seal field insights
EPIC is a "Node" based system. If a whole node is down, check the CAN bus termination resistors—one bad 120-ohm resistor can kill a whole node.
