This screen indicates that the 

 

Logic/Display Module has detected 

 

an interruption in the internal 

 

communication between the display 

 

processor and ignition processor. 

 

This could indicate a wiring fault or 

 

failure inside the Logic/Display Module.

 

This screen indicates that the Logic/

 

Display Module has lost communication 

 

with the Junction/Diagnostic Module. 

 

This could indicate a wiring fault 

 

between the Logic/Display Module and 

 

the Junction/Diagnostic Module or a 

 

faulty diagnostic processor inside the 

 

Junction/Diagnostic Module.

 

This screen indicates that the auxili-

 

ary current loop (spark number 

 

control) has deviated outside the 

 

limits of 2mA and 22mA. The current 

 

loop follows the configured curve 

 

which is specified from 4-20mA. 

 

This diagnostic is active only if the 

 

4-20mA spark select map is on.

 

This screen indicates that the 

 

voltage detected at the junction 

 

module is not within the acceptable 

 

range for the requested spark 

 

number. This could indicate loose 

 

wiring between the Logic/Display 

 

Module and Junction/Diagnostic Module

 

or a faulty connector. 

 

This indicates that the mapping 

 

between the spark diagnostics and 

 

the actual engine firing order is 

 

incorrect and needs to be updated. 

 

This indicates that the voltage 

 

supplied to the left Output Module 

 

(rails 1 and 2) has deviated outside 

 

of the normal operating range. This 

 

can result from poor wiring, an 

 

inadequate power supply, or a 

 

discharged/weak supply battery.
