PROBLEM
ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
The following test procedures will require the use of a multimeter and the
engine's wiring diagram (in this manual). Also refer to the relay testing
page. WESTERBEKE recommends that these tests be peiformed by a
qualified technician.
CAUTION: When servicing or replacing DC
components, tum off the
20
amp
DC
circuit breaker.
TESTING INSPECTIONISOLUTION
(12 VDC is battery
+
voltage measured to ground)
Engine does not crank ....... Test for 8+ (12v) at the circuit breaker to the PC
board terminal T4.
Check for bad connections at the engine harness
connector PI, Pin 1, the #14 red wire, or at the
battery
+
on the starter. Check the connections at
the PC board terminal 4 and at the circuit breaker
II OK ..
Test for S+ (12v) at the circuit breaker to the panel
fuse end and to the PC board terminal 11.
II OK ..
Test for 8+(12v) from the fuse end to the PC board
terminal T2.
II OK ..
Test for 8+(12v) at the crank relay Kl terminal 30.
II OK ..
Test for S+ (12v) at the starVstop switch terminals
2 and 10.
II OK ..
Test for S+ (12v) at the start switch terminal 1
when the switch is activated.
II OK ..
Test for S+ (12v) at crank relay Kl, terminal 86.
II OK ..
If OK ..
Test for S+(12v) at crank relay Kl terminal 85.
Activate the start switch and after a few seconds
the voltage should drop below .5 volts.
II OK ..
Activate the start switch, after 4-5 seconds 8+(12v)
should be present at terminal 87 on relay Kl.
II OK ..
Look for a bad connection from the circuit breaker
to the fuse or at the PC board terminal Tl.
Replace the circuit breaker.
Inspect the connections at the fuse or PC board
terminal T2. Replace the fuse.
Check for a bad connection at the engine harness
connector PI, pin #3. Check the DC voltage at
terminal #30 at the Kl, K2, K3 and K4 relays.
Look for bad connections at the panel connector
52, pin 1, white/blacklred wire to the terminal
PC board or at the starVstop switch terminals 2
and 10.
Replace the start switch.
Check bus fuse (8 amp).
Inspect for a bad connection at relay Kl terminal 8
