This spreadsheet details all the possible reasons why an SP could go into service mode. There are three possible counters/checks that could trigger a code,
and these roll up into a single "Rescue Reason" that shows up on the service page(Flex GUI) and service tasks page(HTML GUI)
For some codes, we also now register "Service Codes" which provide service folks with a little more detail about which component has failed and triggered the SP to enter service mode.
Note: RRCHC and RRC share the same code format and code range. Please check both sheets for RRC/RRCHC registration.

Unity Rescue Reasons Hint Codes
This spreadsheet details all the possible Rescue Reason Code Hint Codes (RRCHC) which provide more specific reasons why an SP could go into service mode.
The RRCHC is usually used together with Rescue Reason Code. RRC may only describe generic rescue reason, and RRCHC can provide more specific hint.
Note: RRCHC and RRC share the same code format and code range. Please check both sheets for RRC/RRCHC registration.
