Pit Boss PB1600M error codes and malfunctions

This page applies only to the Navigator 1600 Connected Grill PB1600M. Its display uses `ERP`, `ERH`, `ERL`, and named component malfunctions; do not assume that a similar Pit Boss controller follows the same path.

What this exact manual documents

ERP

Grill-probe connection error

Manual meaning
The manual identifies a grill-probe wire that is not making a connection or a broken grill probe.
Safe first move
Let the grill cool and disconnect power before following the exact manual’s accessible probe check. Do not transfer PB260PSP2’s ErP shutdown/power-outage meaning to this model.
Diagnose the cooker probe
ERH

Overheat malfunction

Manual meaning
The manual identifies an overheated unit, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel.
Safe first move
Use the documented shutdown, let the grill cool, then complete maintenance and component-position checks before restarting.
Use the fire-pot safety path
ERL

Start-up or flame-stability malfunction

Manual meaning
The grill fails to perform its start-up cycle.
Safe first move
Once cool and unplugged, check component placement, fuel, feed obstruction, grill-probe condition, igniter position, and fan behavior through the model manual before another start.
Work through the ignition path
Auger malfunction

Auger feed or connection alert

Manual meaning
The auger motor is jammed or not making a connection.
Safe first move
Cool and unplug before touching the feed system. Confirm whether pellets are dropping into the burn pot before treating the motor as failed.
Diagnose the auger safely
Igniter malfunction

Igniter function or connection alert

Manual meaning
The igniter is not working properly, is not making a connection, or has failed.
Safe first move
Let the grill cool completely and use the manual’s check before considering a replacement. Do not order an igniter from this screen alone.
Check the ignition path first
Fan malfunction

Fan function or connection alert

Manual meaning
The fan is not working properly or is not making a connection.
Safe first move
Cool and unplug before inspection. Use the model manual’s airflow and accessible-condition check rather than treating this as a universal fan diagnosis.
Trace the fan symptom safely
