What is GE Healthcare CT error code 230006001?

ICE CPU fails to respond to polling; OC cannot connect via cu ice. It is reported by the GE LightSpeed CT platform on LightSpeed QX/i and LightSpeed Plus and LightSpeed Ultra and HiSpeed QXi CT systems. Severity: Error condition; subsystem: ICE Chassis.

What should a field engineer do about 230006001?

Confirm the console can actually reach the ICE chassis over the cu ice serial line before assuming a hardware fault — a corrupted /.etc/uucp/Systems file is a documented cause of exactly this symptom. The expected file layout and recovery steps are in the service manual.. Isolate the ICE Chassis subsystem and follow the status-code troubleshooting in the service manual. FSELIB documents the full diagnosis and remedy for the LightSpeed QX/i / LightSpeed Plus / LightSpeed Ultra / HiSpeed QXi.

230006001 — ICE CPU fails to respond to polling; OC cannot connect via cu ice

GE Healthcare CT error code, reported by the GE LightSpeed CT platform.

What 230006001 means

On LightSpeed QX/i and LightSpeed Plus and LightSpeed Ultra and HiSpeed QXi CT systems, status code 230006001 indicates: ICE CPU fails to respond to polling; OC cannot connect via cu ice. The code originates in the ICE Chassis section of the GE LightSpeed CT platform. Severity level error (Error condition).

Reported action: Confirm the console can actually reach the ICE chassis over the cu ice serial line before assuming a hardware fault — a corrupted /.etc/uucp/Systems file is a documented cause of exactly this symptom. The expected file layout and recovery steps are in the service manual..

Raised on GE LightSpeed CT systems (QX/i, Plus, Ultra) and HiSpeed QXi when the Operator Console cannot open the serial cu ice link to the ICE chassis. The console logs "ICE CPU did not respond to polling within 180 seconds" and a HOST_SHUTDOWN triggered by the death of the procICE process; the code is logged by procICE in iceCpu.cxx.
