Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting can be difficult. On the following pages there is a list of possible problems. To make a repair to a problem, make reference to the cause and correction.This list of problems, causes and corrections will only give an indication of where a possible problem can be, and what repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendations in the list. Remember that a problem is not normally caused only by one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts. This cannot give all possible problems and corrections. The serviceman must find the problem and its source, then make the necessary repairs.Troubleshooting Problem List

Problem 1: Contactor Switch For Water Temperature Does Not Activate Shutoff Solenoid Probable Cause:1. Wrong Connections: Connect battery to C and shutoff solenoid to NO connections. Check connections to other components or make installation of new wiring.2. Failure Of Shutoff Solenoid: Check the shutoff solenoid.3. Low Water Level In Cooling System: Fill the cooling system.4. Wrong Setting Of Switch: Make a test of temperature setting and if necessary install new contactor switch with correct setting. See specifications. Problem 2: Contactor Switch For Water Temperature Activates Shutoff Solenoid At Wrong Temperature Probable Cause:1. Wrong Setting Of Switch: Make a test of temperature setting and if necessary install new contactor switch with correct setting. See specifications. Problem 3: Contactor Switch For Oil Pressure Fails To Activate Shutoff Solenoid Probable Cause:1. Wrong Connections: Check connections, wiring and correct where necessary.2. Wrong Setting Of Switch: Test contactor switch. If necessary, install new contactor switch. Problem 4: Shutoff Solenoid Fails To Stop Engine Probable Cause:1. Wrong Connections: Check connections and wiring.2. Plunger Shaft Adjustment Wrong: Make adjustment to plunger shaft.3. Wrong Plunger In Shutoff Solenoid: Install the correct plunger shaft.4.
