6 cab light blinks

Same thing with my new Kate's.  Called lionel. Same answer. Mine only does it with smoke on High. Low and medium works fine,no blinks. Lionel says the 6 blinks is a code for Haliafax sounds

I don't think you haft to hit Aux 1&2 after reset. I just hit set, power off and switch to run and power on

The instructions for Aux1, 2 (on the number pad, not Aux2) came from Lionel.  Mine blinks regardless of what smoke level and does it even with the smoke switch off.  Pressing the reset button on the remote won't keep the blinking from happening.  Have to wait until the blink occurs, then press the reset button.  Mine is the UP 8444 but the shell likely has nothing to do with the problem.

Courioues to see who else has this same problem. Must be some programming glitch with the onboard computer system of these engines.  Merry Christmas to all!!!

The 6 blinks is a Hall Effect error.  Aux1, 2 is not used on this loco.  There are no AUX codes.  The Hall effect connection sometimes wiggles loose.  See if you can see the connector above the truck with the connection and re-seat the connectors.   If that does not work, then it will require service.

Where exactly is this connection. Anything have to be removed to visibly see it, like truck frame or shell? Thanks

I think I found.  3pin connector?   Tightened up best as possible and used a pick to try to push wires in further.  So far ok.  Thank you!!!

Thanks Mark.  I had forgotten about your old post.  I don't know if it's completely fixed. Haven't run it since last night. Cheers Steve

Trying to seat the plug more had no effect.  Doubt that the error code is due to overloaded engine since the engine alone flashes.  Also the reset button on remote clears the error code and engine runs normally until the track power is turned off again.

Thank you Mark.  Will look into it.  It seem to be ok tonight. I will make a copy of the reset codes. Thanks a million!!  Steve

Mark. I slightly pushed wires into the back of the three prong plug    (Plug connected) and that seemed to correct it   Knock on wood!!  I used a small dental pick but I'm sure a round toothpick would work   Lionel uses so small gauge wire and always too tight to move anything to repair  mine only did it on high on smoke    Good luck  steve

I ment HIGH smoke

Nothing worked for me.  Lionel has it back now to try to fix it.
