What matters on the Automower 435X AWD NERA
This NERA model may be installed with a physical boundary wire or, where supported/configured, a wire-free EPOS setup. The correct diagnostic branch depends on the installation actually in use.
Use the exact error text shown by the mower or app. Similar wording across mower generations does not always mean the same component has failed.
Start with these checks
- Move/observe mower in an open-sky location.
- Check positioning/reference-station/correction-data status where applicable.
- Retest.
- Persistent fault → manufacturer support.
- Move the mower to an open-sky location.
- Check station/reference status and correction-data availability.
Stop if: the mower has damaged wiring, a swollen/damaged battery, severe vibration, water inside electrical areas, or would require opening sealed electronics.
What this fault can mean
Searching for satellites / positioning unavailable. Similar symptoms can have more than one cause, so work through the checks in order rather than replacing parts immediately.
Diagnostic decision
- Improves in open sky → signal environment
- No improvement → positioning/support diagnosis
