IGNITION SYSTEM GROUNDING....
(Nuisance shutdowns are often caused by a poor or erratic ground.) A common ground is required for the module,
igniter, flame sensor and main burner.
a.
Check for good metal-to-metal contact between the igniter bracket and the main burner.
b.
Check the ground lead from the GND (BURNER) terminal on the module to the igniter bracket. Make sure
connections are clean and tight. If the wire is damaged or deteriorated, replace it.
c.
Replace igniter/sensor with factory replacement part if insulator is cracked.

▲WARNING: The ignition circuit generates a 20,000 Volt open circuit and electrical shock can result.
a.
Check ignition cable.
b.
Check external fuse located in the control box.
c.
Verify power (24V) at module input terminals and output terminal to gas valve.
d.
Replace spark module if fuse and power are OK.
