      so you swapped the wiring. can you swap the motor to make sure its not the motor?

        It is 3 different motors that are all giving me the message but I can swap the motors if that would make it easier to diagnose?

          so far you have only shown the error message about phase A on driver 1.

          does it happen with all phases on all drivers?

            I was also getting the error message on the Z axis motors but that error message is random and hasn't happened again.The Y axis does it everytime.

              The motors attempt to move when using DWC but they stutter shaking back and forth. I attempted raising the voltages slightly but it made no difference.

                @siblues said in Motor phase disconnected problem?:

                6:54:46 PMM906
                Motor current (mA) - X:1500, Y:1500, Z:1500, E:1200:1200, idle factor 30%

                M906 X1200 Y1200 Z1200 E1200 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent

                this does not match

                but you have a M501

                so please post your overwrite.

                  Common reasons for this:

                  1. Motors not phased correctly. This is serious as it can cause the drivers to be damaged. So check that the motor phases are connected correctly first.
                  2. Bad crimp connection in the motor wires, so that only one phase is being energised.
                  3. Speed and/or acceleration set too high, bearing in mind the steps/mm (higher steps/mm => lower accelerations and speeds possible).
                  4. Weak PSU, so that the voltage drops below 10V when the motors draw current.
                  5. Blown stepper driver.
                  6. Blown motor.

                    @veti Here is the override and the current was changed to 1500 to test it is set at 1200 usually.

                    @dc42 The motors have been working just fine for a while with that original harness and the harness has since been replaced.The printer has a genuine Meanwell 450watt 12v psu and it only fluctuates .02 volts.Here are the current motor settings for what I have set for speed.

                    ; Drives
                    M569 P0 S0 ; Drive 0 goes forwards reversed
                    M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 goes forwards
                    M569 P2 S0 ; Drive 2 goes forwards reversed
                    M569 P3 S1 ; Drive 3 goes forwards
                    M350 X16 Y16 Z16 E16 I1 ; Configure microstepping with interpolation
                    M92 X80 Y80 Z400 E415 ; Set steps per mm
                    M566 X900 Y900 Z12 E1200 ; Set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
                    M203 X6000 Y6000 Z180 E1200 ; Set maximum speeds (mm/min)
                    M201 X500 Y250 Z250 E2500 ; Set accelerations (mm/s^2)
                    M906 X1200 Y1200 Z1200 E1200 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
                    M84 S30 ; Set idle timeout

                    I can check the motor but how would I check for a blown driver and what would cause that to happen all of a sudden?

                      @siblues you can check to see if it's a driver by swapping the motors plugged into a working axis with the not working one. Drivers can get blown when wiring develops intermittent faults in a single phase.

                        I had some motors on the way so I tried what Tony mentioned and it was a bad motor.
