MLC-1 Troubleshooting 

• 

Error Code:

 

If the MLC control senses a fault, an LED indicator will show a quick repetitive flash. See 
display below for flashing LED error code 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

LEDs do not light:

 

1)

 

If terminal #7 is connected to a switched 12/24vdc source from the ignition key 
switch accessory terminal or a spare accessory switch. Make sure this switch is 
on. 

2)

 

Test  voltage  at  terminal  7  (green  plug)  which  should  be  12  or  24vdc.  This 
terminal must be connected to the ignition key switch or accessory switch. Turn 
key switch or accessory switch to ON and make sure battery selector switch is 
turned on. 

3)

 

Measure  voltage  at  terminal  1  (green  plug)    (+12  or  +24vdc)  and  terminal  2 
(battery  negative)  for  proper  voltage  (see  wiring  diagram).  Replace  fuse  or 
repair poor connection if battery voltage is not measured at terminals 1 and 2.
