FANUC Alarm 20 on A06B-6134-H303#A
A customer sent us a FANUC A06B-6134-H303#A all-in-one servo drive that failed to initialize after power-on. During testing, the drive displayed Alarm 20 and could not complete its self-check.
In this repair case, we will show how the fault was isolated and successfully repaired.

Initial Inspection
After receiving the drive, our technicians first performed a visual inspection.
No obvious damage such as burned components, broken connectors, or damaged PCB traces was found.
The drive was then connected to our testing platform for functional testing.
After power-on:
- The drive failed to complete initialization.
- Alarm 20 appeared immediately.
- Self-check could not be completed.
Step 1 – Isolating the Fault
To determine which section of the drive was responsible for the fault, we separated the side board from the main board.
The side board was powered independently.
The result was clear:
- The side board completed self-check normally.
- No abnormal behavior was observed.
This indicated that the side board was functioning correctly.
The fault was therefore likely located on the base board.
Step 2 – Checking the Hall Current Sensors
Further diagnosis focused on the Hall current sensors mounted on the base board.
The input and output signals of both sensors were measured and compared.
Although both sensors appeared similar at first glance, one sensor showed an abnormal output.
Measurement Results
| Sensor | Output Voltage | Input Voltage |
| Left Sensor | 2.5 V | 5V |
| Right Sensor | 2.3 V | 5V |
The output of the right Hall current sensor was approximately 0.2 V lower than the expected value.
While the difference seemed very small, it was sufficient to prevent the drive from passing its self-check and resulted in Alarm 20.
This case demonstrates that even minor deviations in sensor output can lead to significant system faults.
Step 3 – Replacing the Faulty Sensor
The defective Hall current sensor was replaced with a new component.
After replacement, the drive was powered on again.
The result:
- Self-check completed successfully.
- Alarm 20 disappeared.
- The drive operated normally.
Multiple functional tests were performed to confirm stable operation.
The repair was successfully completed.
