How to Solve Xhorse Dolphin XP005L Error Code 42

Problem:

I have a new xhorse dolphin xp005l, and it is already calibrated, when I send the order to cut, it reaches 1%, the red light comes on and this error code 42 message appears, I already tried another cutter and tried.

Solution:
First make sure the work area is clear and clean. No shavings on the clamp at all. Next do the ‘Height Level Adjustment’. After performing that, try cutting your key.

If you did a firmware update, you have to perform it AGAIN. — If you truly did the Height level adjustment, and it’s not seeing the probe & cutter at the same height, then it might need sent in for service.

Xhorse Dolphin XP005/XP005L Height Level Adjustment

•whenever you want to change the cutter size
It’s very simple!
•Click Device Info at the bottom
•then click “Height Level Adjustment”
•Next you will want to READ the onscreen directions and follow them exactly.

Feedback:

I lowered the cutter a bit to the level of the probe and the machine cut a hon66.  if you did the height level adjustment, that’s what it has you do!

Chrysler CY24 key Cutting with Xhorse Dolphin XP005L

 If you have a problem cutting Chrysler CY24 key with Xhorse Dolphin XP005L key cutting machine, here’s tip.

Put the key in as far as you can and the machine will cut it. We do it on mine all the time.

never had to grind anything.
cy24 is probably the most common key to cut, never once had an issue with it not being far enough.
You have to ignore the instructions on the Dolphin II for the M5 clamp to cut it. You can’t line it up to the line it says.

Cut dozens of them no issues with dolphin 2 and m5 clamp. I’ve cut at least 20 of these no problem.You can also use the universal setting, tip align as far in as the key will sit on side A of the clamp.

Never has an issue with dolphin I with M1 clamp position neither.

Cut By Bitting>TOY40>TOY 40 Remark: Emergency Key (One Sided Key)
You have to type the Bitting acquired by code. Choose between 4, 6 & 8 bitting

You can also do it under “Universal Duplication”, no issues at all

If you break probes when using the universal key dulpication function, it is usually user fault.

The probe works by electrical signal. when the metal probe touched the metal key an electrical signal is passed from probe to key, and the probe stops, if the probe does not stop and breaks then the electrical signal did NOT transfer from probe to key. CLEAN YOUR KEYS WITH A WIRE BRUSH!!!
You can put anything metal in the clamp and the probe will stop when it touches it. UNLESS ITS DIRTY!!
so clean the key with a wire brush every single time you decode a key, period!! A $2 wire brush will save u time, money, aggravation.
You need to Clean the probe too. they tend to get a little corrosion forming from moisture. so take care of the machine and you won’t have any issues.
