Troubleshooting 

Problem

Cause

Solution

In an injector installation only, pres-
sure switch activates before all injec-
tors fire

Pressure switch is installed at the 
wrong location

Verify pressure switch is correctly 
installed - downstream from a bank of 
injectors

Pressure switch is not set to a high 
enough reset point

Verify pressure switch is set suffi-
ciently high at a level above the firing 
point of the injectors and within the 
margin for error.

Another pressure switch or pressure 
gauge on the system reads different 
than the pressure switch

Pressure switch is installed at the 
wrong location

Verify pressure switch is correctly 
installed - downstream from a bank of 
injectors

Pressure switch is not set to a high 
enough reset point

Verify pressure switch is set suffi-
ciently high at a level above the firing 
point of the injectors and within the 
margin for error.

After all injectors have reset, the 
pressure switch does not deactivate 

The Reset point is set too low

Turn the reset point to a higher set-
ting. Then verify the system is func-
tioning correctly.

The pressure switch seems to be 
operating backwards

Normally Open and Normally Closed 
outputs not completing connection

Check the Normally Open and Nor-
mally Closed outputs and make sure 
the proper connection is made. 
Adjust connection as needed.

Power is supplied to the pressure 
switch but the switch is no longer 
sensing pressure

Grease soap has accumulated in the 
sensing orifice. 

1.

Attempt to lower the pressure 
switch set point to verify the 
switch is not sensing any pres-
sure.

2.

After verifing the pressure switch 
is not sensing pressure, remove 
the switch from the port. 

3.

Using a non-metalic tool, clean 
out the sensing orifice. 

4.

Reinstall the switch in the port.

5.

Retest.
