TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
RECOMMENDED
COURSE OF ACTION
1. With the Idler Switch (S4) in the
"Auto" position, check for the
presence of 12VDC at leads
#213 to #215 located at the
Idler Solenoid. If 12VDC is pre-
sent and the Idler Solenoid is
not activating, then the solenoid
may be faulty or there is a
mechanical restriction prevent-
ing it from functioning.
2. If there is NOT 12VDC at leads
#213 to #215, then test for
12VDC from lead #213 to
ground (lead #5). See Wiring
Diagram. If 12VDC is present,
then check lead #215 for conti-
nuity (zero ohms) from the Idler
Solenoid to the Printed Circuit
Board plug 3J1. If lead #215 is
OK, then the Printed Circuit
Board may be faulty. Replace.
3. If there is NOT 12VDC from lead
#213 to ground (lead #5), then
check the Idler Switch (S4) for
proper operation
sociated wires for loose or
faulty connections.
