Replace traction motor.
Bad traction motor (open winding).
Replace traction amplifier.
Bad traction amplifier.
Check cables, repair or replace.
Broken or loose F1 or F2 cable from traction
amplifier to traction motor.
PERFORM OUTPUT TEST 17 or 18 - TRACTION MOTOR FIELD & ARMATURE CURRENT. Should
see Field amps 25-36 and armature amps 40-70 with truck jacked up. Test both forward and reverse.
Left and right field current should not differ by more than 5 amps.
Solution
Possible Cause
The system controller detects no current to the
traction motor field when there should be.
TRACTION system shutdown. Will not pass
POST.
Criteria
Resulting Effect
LEFT/RIGHT TRACTION MOTOR FIELD CURRENT NOT PRESENT

Replace traction motor.
Bad traction motor (shorted winding).
Replace traction amplifier.
Bad traction amplifier.
Test diode and replace if necessary.
Bad diode.
Check cables, repair or replace.
Shorted A1 or A2 cable from traction amplifier to
traction motor.
PERFORM OUTPUT TEST 17 or 18 - TRACTION MOTOR FIELD & ARMATURE CURRENT. Should
see Field amps 25-36 and armature amps 40-70 with truck jacked up. Test both forward and reverse.
Left and right field current should not differ by more than 5 amps.
Solution
Possible Cause
The traction motor armature current draw is greater
than the system controller expects.
TRACTION system shutdown. Will not Pass
POST.
