The flexible circuit going to the diaphragm has failed.

This is not a DIY repair sorry - I suggest you take it to a repair shop.

Hi I have used my canon camera eos 400d with the 17-85 mm canon lense for nearly 2 years. Since last week i am encouttering the error 99 < replace the battery and try again>.I did this...

The lens most probably has dirty contact between the lens and camera body. It only worked with the "default" lens because you disturbed the dirt removing the 17-85 lens.

Here is what I'm suggesting, seeing you said the problem was solved by changing out the lens.

Clean the contact both on the lens and camera body with a pencil eraser, hold the camera body so the lens cavity is pointed downward and lightly polish the contacts don't use a puffer to clean the area you will just blow dirt into the camera.

Do the same with the lens contacts and you will be good to go

My 17-85 lens just started causing the camera to get err 99 when I try to use it at 17mm up to about 30mm. It will focus & work above that focal length. It is the lens as I used another lens on same...

Your flex cable to the Iris is broken. Have a look at my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/barry_2718/efs1785mm I have the same symptoms. At 28 or 35mm it make work ok. try Av mode and f8 aperture to see if you get an err01 because the aperture does not move to that value. It can be fixed by canon $150??? but this is about the 10th lens I've heard about so its a design fault.

Nikon 17-35 lense overexposes past f5.6

Blades are dirty.

Test by setting up for 1" shoot and look into the lens.
If blades close late then they are in need of an PM.

I repairs & serivices cameras, flashes, lens and studio lighting.

Zborn, did you find any solutions? I have had same lense for 2-3 years, taken maybe 10000 shots and just yesterday started to get error 99. Spent most of today trouble-shooting to repeat problem and it seems that when I set to less than 35mm I get the error 99. other settings and my other lense has no problems.

Focus hutning with Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 Image Stabilized

I had this problem too, then my camera started getting Error 99 (there is some problem) and not working.
If you look at this website and follow the steps under Update 2
http://www.richardsnotes.org/archives/2005/04/29/50mm-lens-contact-points/
I think you will fix your problem. The connections between lens and camera probably have a little dust in them, use a soft rubber eraser to clean them. Make sure no dust or pieces fall into the camera or lens when cleaning!
