Engine Maintenance (Rev. 04/02)

Troubleshooting the Fuel Solenoid System

NOTE: The fuel solenoid pull-in coil will require 35 to 45

amps to turn on the fuel. The unit’s battery must be in

good condition. If the battery has enough power to crank

the engine over, it has enough power to energize the fuel

solenoid pull-in coil.

If you suspect that the engine does not run because the fuel

solenoid is not operating correctly, use the following proce-

dure:

Disconnect the fuel solenoid wire connector from the

main wire harness.

Use the microprocessor keypad to enter the Relay

Board Test Mode. Refer to the appropriate Micropro-

cessor Operation and Diagnosis Manual for detailed

information about the Relay Board Test Mode.

Energize the fuel solenoid circuits by energizing the run

relay [RUNR] with the Relay Board Test Mode.

Check the voltage on the 8D circuit (pin A) in the main

wire harness connector for the fuel solenoid. Refer to

the following illustrations to identify the pins in the

wire connectors.

If battery voltage is not present on the 8D circuit,

check the 8D circuit and the related circuits and

components for a fault.

If battery voltage is present on the 8D circuit, go to

step 5.

Main Wire Harness

Connector Pin Identification

aea704

Check the CH circuit (pin C) in the main wire harness

connector for continuity to a good chassis ground.

If there is no continuity between the CH circuit a

good chassis ground, check the CH wire for an

open circuit.

If there is continuity between the CH circuit in the

main wire harness at the fuel solenoid wire connec-

tor and a good chassis ground, go to step 6.

Place a jumper wire between the black wire (CH—pin

C) in the fuel solenoid connector and a good chassis

ground.

Test the pull-in coil by momentarily placing a jumper

between the white wire (8DP—pin B) in the fuel sole-

noid connector and the positive battery terminal. The

fuel solenoid should make a definite click when the

pull-in coil is energized and should click again when

the pull-in coil is de-energized.

NOTE: The pull-in coil will draw 35 to 45 amps so do

not leave the jumper connected to the white wire

(8DP—pin B) for more than a few seconds.
