3. READ DIAGNOSTIC CODE

4. DIAGNOSTIC CODE




a. If the system is operating normally, the light will blink for 0.25 seconds every 0.5 seconds.




b. In the event of a malfunction, the light will blink for 0.5 seconds every 1.0 seconds. The number of blinks will equal the first number and, after 1.5 second pause, the second number of the two digit diagnostic code. If there are two or more codes, there will be a 2.5 second pause between each.






NOTE: In the event of several trouble codes occuring simultaneously, indication will begin from the smaller value and continue to the larger.

c. Remove the service wire from the DG terminal.

NOTE: If codes 62,63 and 64 appear, there is an electrical malfunction in the solenoid.
Causes due to mechanical failure, such as a stuck switch, will not appear.
