Afterburner Climax motor driver board issue, seat not moving
- Thread starter bravesirchris
- Start date
Usually the error for a bad 839-1256R is different: "ABX01 - Motor Drive Communication Error"
Take out your 839-1256R board and see if it's the same error.
It's worth trying a replacement anyway as they are cheap enough around €20
Next to try is the motor board 838-14592.
Also check all your cables that everything is connected ok and the pins are making contact.

Looking at a similar issue and I am wondering if oil of some kind is required in there?
The game was giving error abx04 when I arrived. Unplugged and Replugged and now giving abx02
the wheel is not moving at all.… but I am told it did before.
Motor appears to be hard stuck. Edit: I am now thinking perhaps the brake is stuck on?
Thank you for any and all helps

Went back today and it’s not the driver board…
In my experience the problems are:
1. the motor driver board (careful with the one you replace with as there are a few different types that are not interchangeable and they look identical). 838-14592 is one that works.
2. the small 232 to 422 board (839-1256R) - usually the cause for error ABX01
3. The wiring (double check none of the socket receptacles have retracted in any of the many connectors)
4. The brake relay board (839-1148R).
5. Bad motor (hopefully that is not the case).
You can go into test mode and test movement and brake release. If you release the brake there you can roll it back and forth with ease.

Thanks for these.
I tried the proper 14592 motor board.
Will try the little 232 to 422 board next
Didn’t know there was a brake relay board. Will look into it.
Will double check the connectors.
I can not go into test mode because of the error. Should I be?!
Ps : I can hear the motor “trying” here it is:

I bought an Afterburner Climax without a computer, the complete case is in pretty good condition. I bought a yellow Linbergh on eBay, and it turned out it had multiboot and a few games, and of course Afterburner. My problem is that during initialization, I get the error "Error ABX01 - Motor Drive Communication Error." In most cases, the RS232-RS422 board is responsible for this error. I decided to check if the Com1 port on the Linberg is sending any data. I connected an RS232-to-USB converter, and nothing happens.
Does Multiboot require any changes or configuration to make the transmission output from Com1?
