indication
appears
immediately.
a.
Defective engine
temperature switch
Check wiring to engine high temperature switch (S49
on schematic), which is located on top of the engine
block. If wiring is correct, remove wires and check
resistance between terminals C and N.O. A
resistance of less than 10 ohms indicates a defective
switch. Replace switch if defective.
b.
Defective PC1 board
Replace the PC1 Interface board.
6.
Engine is hard
to start.
Cranking speed
is normal and
the fuel supply
is adequate.
a.
Low compression, which
may be caused by sticking
or burned exhaust valves,
worn or broken

cylinder head gasket, or
valve clearance adjustment.
Check the compression in accordance with
instructions in the engine manufacturer’s operation
manual. Overhaul the engine to make repairs as
necessary.

defective oil pressure
switch.
Restart the engine and observe oil pressure gauge. If
oil pressure is 12 psi or more, disconnect wire from
the normally-closed switch terminal on the oil pressure
switch. Restart engine. If engine continues to run,
the oil pressure switch is defective. Replace oil
pressure switch. If engine stops, the PC1 Interface
board might be defective.
b.
Defective PC1 board.
Replace PC1 Interface board.
