Item Description Action
Servo pressure There is insufficient pressure differential across the
servo piston.
Check servo pressures at port M4 and M5 to verify
sufficient pressure delta. Verify that the servo supply
and drain paths are unobstructed and that each
orifice is of the correct size and free of debris. Clean,
repair, or replace as necessary.

Electrical troubleshooting
Item Description Action
Control operates pump in one direction
only
Control coil had failed (EDC). Measure resistance at coil pins. Resistance should be
14.20 ohms (24V) or 3.66 ohms (12V) at 20°C [70°F].
Replace coil.
No pump function No power to controller. Restore power to controller.
Erratic pump function Electrical connection to pump is bad. Disconnect connection, check wires, reconnect
wires.
Filter bypass indicator switch Filter switch may be bad. Check/replace filter switch. Add gauge to filter
bypass port to verify proper fluid flow and verify
switch operation by measuring resistance.
open resistance=>510 ohms, closed
resistance<=122 ohms.
