No. Countermeasures Connect wires correctly. Replace the part. Replace the part or connect wires correctly. Replace the valve (the pilot valve) with a new one. Adjust the pressure so that pilot pressure is within the specified range during operation. If incorrect oil has been used for lubrication, remove the oil with air blow, and replace the valve with a new one. If a lubricant is used in the system after the replacement of the valve, use turbine oil Class 1 (with no additive) ISO VG32.
