Help Article: Resolving Common Error Codes in the Vehicle Processing System
This help article addresses common error codes encountered in the vehicle processing system and provides step-by-step instructions to resolve them.
Error Code F186: Resubmit Transaction VIN 110117
When encountering error code F186, it indicates that the vehicle has expired for over two years, resulting in accumulated fees and penalties. This issue cannot be bypassed through efile and requires a visit to the SPU or DMV field office for resolution.
- Action Required: Visit your local SPU or DMV field office.
Error Code 0001: Change to Used CA Transfer
Error code 0001 occurs when there’s a prior record on file or if the vehicle is flagged as goldenrod. Specifically, this may occur due to additional records related to Non Resident Military fee exemptions now being due upon transfer.
- Steps to Resolve:
- Change the status of the vehicle in question to "Used CA Transfer."
- Mark it as Goldenrod within your Efile system.
- If there's an additional record on file (as shown by KSR), send this deal to your DMV field office or SPU for further processing.
Error Code Q046: Posting Fees Issue
If you encounter error code Q046 while attempting to post fees, it usually means there is already a Record Data File (RDF) for that specific VIN. To verify when fees were previously posted, run a Key Status Report (KSR). For example, if $331 was paid on renewal dated 4/3/23 based on KSR details, no additional posting can be done via efile for those same fees.
