TP-6053 7/0444 Section 8 Component Troubleshooting
Refer to Figure 8-6 for troubleshooting information on the remote start panels.
Component Ohmmeter Connections Procedure Results
Remote start/stop switch
Remote switch: yellow/red
wire terminal and black wire
terminal.
Place the ohmmeter on the
Rx1scale.
Press the rocker switch to the
START position.
Continuity, the switch is
functional. Open, replace
switch.
Remote switch: grey/black
wire terminal and black wire
terminal.
Place the ohmmeter on the
Rx1scale.
Press the rocker switch to the
STOP position.
Continuity, the switch is
functional.
Generator set ON light,
gauge lights, DC voltmeter,
and hourmeter
Connect the red test lead to
P3-4 and black test lead to
P3-1.
Place the controller rocker
switch to the START position.
Stop the generator set when
the test is complete.
Generator set does not need
to be running, just cranking
forthistest.
Note: If the hourmeter is not
illuminated, test it by
connecting it to a 12-volt
battery.
Note: The hourmeter is
polarity sensitive.
If 12-volts DC is present and
the component does not
function after the J3 is
connected to the controller
P3, replace the
component(s).
Water temperature gauge Connect the red test lead to
P3-4 (socket side) and black
test lead to P3-2 (socket
side).
Start the generator set for the
test.
If0.5--12-voltsDCispresent
and the gauge does not
function after the J3 is
connected to controller,
replace the gauge.
Oil pressure gauge Connect the red test lead to
P3-4 (socket side) and black
test lead to P3-3 (socket
side).
Start the generator set for the
test.
If0.5--12-voltsDCispresent
and the gauge does not
function after the J3 is
connected to the controller,
replace the gauge.
Note: Check continuity of gauge wiring and extension harness before replacing components.
