FAULT INDICATION
PROBABLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
HIGH WATER
TEMPERATURE
1. See High Water Temperature
Switch Open.
2. Temp HI Limit setting is too low.
1. See High Water Temperature Switch Open.
2. Check Temp HI Limit setting.
IGN BOARD
COMM FAULT
1. Communication fault has occurred
between the PMC board and
Ignition/Stepper (IGST) board
1. Press CLEAR button and restart unit. If fault persists, contact
qualified Service Personnel.
IGN SWTCH CLOSED
DURING PURGE
1. Air/Fuel Valve not rotating
2. Defective or shorted switch
3. Switch wired incorrectly
4. Defective Power Supply Board or
fuse
5. Defective IGST Board
1. Start the unit. The Air/Fuel Valve should rotate to the purge (open)
position. If the valve does not rotate at all or does not rotate fully
open, check the Air/Fuel Valve calibration. If calibration is okay, the
problem may be in the Air-Fuel Valve or the Control Box. Refer to
qualified service personnel
2. .If the Air/Fuel Valve does rotate to purge, check the ignition switch
for continuity between the N.O. and COM terminals. If the switch
shows continuity when not in contact with the cam replace the
switch.
3. Check to ensure that the switch is wired correctly (correct wire
numbers on the normally open terminals). If the switch is wired
correctly, replace the switch
4. Check DS1 & DS2 LEDs on Power Supply Board. If they are not
steady ON, replace Power Supply Board.
5. Check “Heartbeat” LED DS1 and verify it is blinking ON & OFF
every second. If not, replace IGST Board
IGN SWTCH OPEN
DURING IGNITION
1. Air/Fuel Valve not rotating to
ignition position.
2. Defective ignition switch
3. Defective Power Supply Board or
fuse
4. Defective IGST Board
1. Start the unit. The Air/Fuel Valve should rotate to the purge (open)
position, then back to ignition position (towards closed) during the
ignition cycle. If the valve does not rotate back to the ignition
position, check the Air/Fuel Valve calibration. If calibration is okay,
the problem may be in the Air/Fuel Valve or the Control Box. Refer
fault to qualified service personnel.
2. If the Air/Fuel Valve does rotate to the ignition position, check the
ignition position switch for continuity between the N.O. and COM
terminals when in contact with the cam.
3. Check DS1 & DS2 LEDs on Power Supply Board. If they are not
steady ON, replace Power Supply Board.
4. Check “Heartbeat” LED DS1 and verify it is blinking ON & OFF
every second. If not, replace IGST Board.
