The error code E--05 (or sometimes appearing as Err-05 or E-oS) on a Mitutoyo caliper typically indicates a sensor signal error or overspeed error. It occurs when the sensor cannot correctly track the scale's position, often due to physical interference or internal electrical issues. Common Causes & Solutions
: Remove the battery and short the battery contacts with a small metal tool for roughly 30 seconds to drain residual capacitance and reset the internal processor. : Close the jaws completely and press and hold the button for more than one second to reset the zero point. 2. Scale Cleaning If the error occurs at specific points along the beam: Wipe the Scale
Diagnosis: Examine the entire length of the beam with a magnifying glass. If you see a gouge, the caliper is likely beyond economical repair unless you replace the main beam (which often costs as much as a new caliper).
Note: Do not force the slider during these steps.
Before disassembling the tool, try these non-invasive steps: Replace the Battery
