P188 CHECK HEATER 2 CIRCUIT
This device is checked twice in Pretrip - once in Test 2 and again in Test 8.
•
TRIGGER–ON TEST 2 (unit not running): Normal draw for the 1HTCON2 contactor coil is 0.05 to
2.0 Amps (12 VDC). The circuit tests outside this range.
•
TRIGGER–ON TEST 8 (unit running): Normal draw for the 1HTCON2 heaters is 1.0 to 3.5 Amps
(460 VAC). The circuit tests outside this range.
•
UNIT CONTROL:
Engine and Standby Operation: Pretrip will fail and display
“PRETRIP FAIL AND COMPLETED”.
•
RESET CONDITION: Auto Reset if Pretrip is started again, or alarm may be manually reset via
keypad or by turning the unit off, then back on again.

Check 1HTCON2
a. Inspect heater contactor coil and
wire connections.
No damage to coil.
No damage, moisture, or corrosion in connections.
b. Check contactor coil resistance.
Refer to Section 2.12.
3
Check 1HTCON2 Amp Draw
Check 1HTCON2 amp draw.
Use Component Test Mode (Section 5.2.2) to test.
Refer to Section 2.12 for correct electrical values.
View current draw in Data List.
4
Check 1HTCON2 Wiring
Inspect harness & control box con-
nector pins & terminals. (See wiring
schematic Section 10.)
No physical damage to harness.
No damage, moisture, or corrosion in connectors.
5
Check Evaporator High Temperature Switch (EVHTS)
Inspect for open EVHTS per wiring
schematic Section 10.
If open, replace switch as required.
