Observe the compressor 

suction & discharge 

pressures

Are pressures 

changing with the 

modulation 

cycle?

Operation 

is normal

Yes

No

Yes

Yes

Measure the resistance 

of the coil

Is the compressor 

running?

Is the compressor 

overheated?

Perform troubleshooting 

to determine why the 

compressor isn’t 

running

Allow time to cool

Put the system back into 

operation and retest

Start

Measure the voltage at 

the modulation coil 

terminals

Is voltage present,

coinciding with the 

modulation cycle?

Troubleshoot the 

modulation control

WARNING!

Disconnect and lockout 

the power before 

proceeding

Remove one wire from 

the modulation coil

Coil has continuity 

and isn’t grounded?

Replace modulation 

coil

Replace modulation 

valve, follow valve 

replacement 

instructions
