Apple Hardware Test Codes
I began having frequent kernel panics and ran Apple Hardware Test receiving the following results:
Last Run: 10/30/11 5:16 PM
Version: 3A202
Test Suite: Extended Test
Result: Failed
Failure Code: 4PRC/1/40000001: Processor
So, how bad is this?
Googled, binged, and yhaooed, before posting. Closest hit was maybe logic board. I have a service appointment tomorrow at the Apple Store. Kernel panics on the hour give or take a couple of minutes.

Prior to shutting it down, I had to force quit Safari. I has been running a little slow lately, but nothing major.
Apple Hardware Test code shows
4MOT/2/40000004:0x3d2fdb90
anyone know what that means?
I have a late 2006 intel-based iMac with the iSight camera, running Snow LeopardThanks SO MUCH! I am having nightmares about all that could be lost. If the fan can be fixed, then I can cope with the backing up and maybe relieve the hard drive so it gets faster. As Murphy's law would have it, I just bought an external drive but haven't had a chance to set it up to automatically back up. Your reply makes me feel much better... There is hope that I can lip along with this old iMac until I can afford a new one.

Interpreting Apple Hardware Test Codes...How?
Is there a chart or document that will allow me to decode the errors that are produced by the Apple Hardware Test software?
I'll provide the two errors I've seen, but they don't happen all the time. I'd like to know what these mean, but I'd really like to know how I can decode these and future errors myself.
4MHD/2/40000002:0x7ee50490
I'm assuming this one is a hard drive error, but which one? Internal? External USB Drive? How do I tell?
4YDC/2/40000002:0x7eea4890
I'm not sure what this one is.First of all, thanks for all your and everyone else's help on this!
I had some corruption on my internal hard drive which I was finally able to fix using a combination of tools (Diskwarrior and Speedtools) and a reformat and reload of the OS. I was still having problems, but they did not appear to be disk related. I started wondering if there might be some hardware issues causing the issues that may have led to the disk corruption previously and be causing some more current issues. I had installed Mac OS on an external drive and had been booting from that to run some of the various tools and I was still having problems. Anyway, as I've been unplugging one device at a time and doing testing, it seems that my system has become much more stable since I have left the one external drive with Mac OS on it unplugged.
At this point, I'm guessing my problem is either a failing but intermittent internal hard drive (since it had corruption to begin with), or something about the external drive that my system doesn't like (that made the system unstable even after cleaning up the internal drive). Recent problems could be either or a combination of both.
Anyway, I think this narrows it down pretty good, so I'm just leaving the suspect external unplugged and waiting to see if I have more disk related problems.
Thanks again. -

what are the meanings of Apple Hardware Test error codes 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1300 and 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1308?
Thanks - Even though I'm years out of warranty I got chat help from Apple (I said they should help me since the codes aren't published.) We covered three different questions, and although I didn't get a specific decoding of the error code, I got confirmation of what other comments here imply - it might have helped that I indicated I'd already been here - and useful links to how to do back ups, including to CD(s). (I don't have a lot of data on this computer yet)
Now I need to figure out how to decide how hot-to-the-touch is "too hot" for the metal frame at the top of the iMac to decide whether I'm getting adequate fan performance or insufficient. While chatting I initially reported it was cool at the bottom and warm at the top. Apple hadn't asked, but their response prompted me to feel it again, and I'd say the top was hot, not warm - I updated but Apple didn't comment further except to conclude after addressing the other questions that I should take it in for further assessment - don't really want to bother with that. -
Error Code After Running Apple Hardware Test
I ran apple hardware test (I'm having problems where my computer freezes for like 10 seconds with the mouse being movable... but it happens very frequently. like once a minute. it's SOOO ANNOYING)
this is the error i got after running apple hardware test:
(it came out as a Mass Storage error... which is Hard Disk i guess)
**ERROR*CODE***ERROR*CODE**
2STF/8/3: S-ATA Bus 0-Master
**ERROR*CODE***ERROR*CODE**
Does anyone know what I can do to fix it. Apple Hardware Test only allows me to find the error and then restart or shut down... which is useless cause what is the error code supposed to mean. I've only got Apple 1 yr repair support left... so I cant call up Apple or anything. Does anyone know anything about this and what I could do to fix it!?
I know about this: http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
I might go to the apple store, but I dont wanna make a trip out there for nothing.
Does anyone know what I can do or should I just take it to the apple store.Actually, i just spent like 1 hr working with disk utility using the os x install disk and i think it finally worked. im so happy for myself! yay... i wouldnt accept no for an answer. Disk utility kept saying "oh first aid failed because it didnt exit right" or something... total garbage response... i kept pressing verify disk and then repair disk and then i did the verify permissions and repair permissions too... didnt really know what i was doing with the permissions... but it finally worked so thats all that mattered! yay... its back to normal!!

Error Codes after Apple Hardware Test...
After someone here told me I've been experiencing kernel panics, I did some digging on the x lab site and re-ran the Apple hardware test in loop mode. after 17 runs, it returned the error:
4MOT/2/40000005:Right Side
I can't seem to find a list of error codes anywhere. My MBP has two 1GB RAM chips, both were pre-installed when I got the machine from Apple. I haven't tried switching them to see if the same error is returned on testing or with ONLY one or the other installed to see if this is truly a RAM issue. I thought I'd post to the forum for ideas first...I'm afraid I have no idea. If you have AppleCare, I would ask them about the error code. You do have a different error code (/2/ not /1/ and different number after the second slash) than the link, so perhaps it is not a fan motor that is your problem, though I'm hard-pressed to think of what other motors the MBP has (I don't think the hard drive is on the right side, for one.) Alternatively I can imagine, since you said it took you 17 tests to get the result, that this is an intermitent problem--for all I know, just a slightly loose/poorly soldered wire--and so istat hasn't detected the problem yet.
I think AppleCare or a Mac Genius is your best bet, if you have the one or can get to the other. In particular, unfortunately, Apple does not seem to publish the hardware error codes; it only makes them available to techs.
Good luck! -
What do Apple Hardware Test Error Codes indicate?
I recently installed new 1GB memory modules in both slots. When running the Apple Hardware Test, I got the following error code:
post/0/2048 S0DIMM0/J20STANDARD
Does anybody knows what this means? Up in the Test Results Box, it said Memory passed.
Do I have a problem or not?I've had little luck finding a compilation of those AHT codes and their meaning. In your case, "post" is probably "power-on self test," the routine that all Macs run at startup to check for problems.
2048 is the total RAM qty in MB.
J20STANDARD is the logical name of one of the RAM slots.
Run System Profiler and see what it shows for when you select "Memory" from the left-hand pane. On my 1Ghz 17" PowerBook, Profiler shows one slot as J20STANDARD and the other as J23REVERSED and it runs fine. Profiler will tell you if the modules are matched for speed and CAS latency. -
My iMac has been running a little hot, it was suggested to run the Apple hardware test (AHT), as heat can cause problems witht he hard drive.
The AHT revealed the error code 4MOT/4/4000003:HDD-1393 which I assume means a hard dtrive problem. But, what do I do. Is this a critical error or a minor fault. Everything is running as normal, but the machine is getting a little hotter than usual.This indicates problem with HD fan.
Exact nature of the problem is only known to Apple.
We have no way to interpret this error code.
Keep a backup of your data.
When you get a chance, take the Mac to the nearest Apple store to have it tested.
Best. -
Hi guys, I got this error code when I did my apple hardware test. 4MOT/2/40000004:HDD-1379 does anyone have an idea of what this could mean? Please Help .
You can buy and install the hard drive you want to. However, on Late 2009 and newer iMacs the temperature sensor is in the hard drive, so if you replace it with a hard drive that has not got a temperature sensor you will have serious fan problems.
You have got an Early 2009 iMac, so do not worry about this. You can buy a hard drive at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/3.5-SerialATA/ Follow these steps > http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+24-Inch+EMC+2267+Hard+Drive+Replacement/9 028 -
Apple Hardware Test (MacPro) result codes
Hello, My MacPro has been doing the wierdest things like freezing up, although the mouse will move. Freezes while monitors are sleeping. Freezes when I move mouse towards dock. Freezes for no apparent reason ... all updates have been performed.
Bright idea tonight, I decided to run the Apple Hardware Test provided on my install disks ... I got an error code "4SNS/1/40000001:VMBS". No idea what it is or means and have searched high and low on the internet for result codes.
Does anyone know what this means?
I have been supicious of my ATi Radeon X1900 XT for some time as there have been artifacts and odd colour shifts and graphic anomalies.
Thanks for your help, all is appreciated.apple hasn't released a key to the public as to what the hardware codes mean. you really need to take it in for diagnosis.

What does Apple Hardware Test error code 4MEM/1/40000000:OX3bb6b190 mean?
Mozilla kept crashing so I did the Apple Hardware Test and got error code 4MEM/1/40000000:OX3bb6b190. I reinstalled MacOs 10.4.4 (after saving the important stuff to disk of course) and it took about 10 tries to get the 2 disks installed. After the installation, I tried to update to 10.4.5, and when I restarted, the screen was blank. The only disk the computer will start with now is the No. 1 installation disk. What can I do?
Hi
A MEM error code generally indicates a faulty RAM Module. In my experience most RAM manufacturers offer at least a 5 year warranty of their RAM products. Some warranties are for 10 years. Sometimes reseating (taking it out and putting it back in again - properly) the Module will 'cure' the problem. Run AHT afterwards if you try this option first.
If you can remove the offending module and still have enough RAM to be able to do what you need to do then do so.
If not take it to your nearest Apple Repair Specialist who should fix it for you or replace the faulty module yourself and deal with the RAM manufacturer directly.
Judging by the footer to your post you don't seem to have had much luck with this model have you?

Apple Hardware Test Error Code " 2STH/1/2:CPU A AD7417AD1 "
Hi All,
I have a G5 2.5 GHz dual processer that seems to work fine after 14 months. But when I run the Apple Hardware Test, I get the error message listed in my subject above. I talked to Apple and took the machine in for service. Servicer said get the latest upgrade of the AHD and try it instead of one that came with my machine. After some work (a good bit), I got Apple to send me the upgrade and when I run it, I still get the same error code! Does anyone have any suggestions? I could sure use them. Thanks,
Chuck

G5 Full Speed Fans/ The Apple Hardware Tests Error Code
Since yesterday My DP1.8 G5's fans are max speed like jet engine. I tried PMU resets , Disk warrior. But nothing helps. The Apple Hardware Test gave me error code of "post/192/0" . Do you guys know what does this error code mean?
Thank you.Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
I think thast the error is related to the "Power On Self Test", or POST. When you start the machine, are there any beeps, or power button LED flashes? If there is a POST error at startup, the power LED would flash in cadence with the beeps..
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
Do you have any new RAM installed? -
Apple Hardware Test Error Code
Hi,
I've recently tested my machine using the Apple Hardware Test, and received the following error code:
4MHD/2/4000 0004: 0x3ca74c90
Has anyone perhaps encountered this same code before perhaps & could they perhaps shed some more light on it?
Funny thing is, apart from that, my iMac is working perfectly. ( Although I am backing up every day now - just in case )
Intel iMac 20 inch Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, 802.11g, bluetooth,etcWhen your data backup is finished, call AppleCare and ask the question. You may need to get the machine repaired.
