CORRECTION

position and attempt function again.
Check fuse & replace if necessary.

wiring harness continuity. Replace faulty
coil. Note: A working coil will have 15 to
50Ω resistance and will be magnetized
when energized.
Replace cartridge if pressure at appropriate
gage port is not close to relief pressure with
coil energized.
