No

Is there 24 VAC (purple 
wire) on the 4-pin 
connector plug on the 
temperature controller?

Yes

Replace ignition 
module.

No

Check 24 VAC at R and W on 
the terminal strip. 

Check each of the

-white and purple wire on 
the LWCO plug 
-rollout switch 
-manual reset high limit 
-spill switch 
If any of these devices are 
open, press the reset 
button.

Yes

Is there 24 VAC (tan 
wire) on the 4-pin 
connector plug on 
the temperature 
controller? 

Yes

Check each of the 
following for an open: 
- X and B on the 
terminal strip 
-purple and gray wires 
on the vent damper 
plug
-V and P on the 
terminal strip 
-auto reset high limit 

No

Check
voltage to 
and from the 
transformer. 

No

Check incoming 
120 VAC. 

Check for an open 
sensor. If no open 
sensor, make sure 
there’s a call for 
heat. If call for heat 
is present, replace 
temperature control. 

No

Is the pilot 
staying on? 

No
