IMPORTANT: The Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) has its own internal heat sensing circuit fuse protection located on the back side of the Phase 5 computer. If a “dSFL” condition occurs, check to see if this fuse has blown. If it has not, do not replace the entire Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer), replace the fuse and do so with a 1/8-amp (Slo-Blo) fuse only.
