13 SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
SYSTEM INOPERATIVE
If the engine governing system does not function, the fault may be determined by performing the voltage tests described in Steps 1 through 3. Positive (+) and negative (-) refer to meter
polarity. Should normal values be indicated during troubleshooting steps, then the fault may be with the actuator or the wiring to the actuator. Tests are performed with battery power on and
the engine off, except where noted. See actuator publication for testing procedure on the actuator.
Battery Supply 1. DC battery power not connected. Check for blown fuse
1 F(+) & E(-) Voltage 2. Low battery voltage
(12 or 24V DC) 3. Wiring error
1. Gap between speed sensor and gear teeth too great
1.0V AC RMS min. 2. Improper or defective wiring to the speed sensor
2 C&D While Cranking 3. Resistance between D and C should be 130 to 1200 ohms.
4. Defective speed sensor.
1. SPEED or IDLE parameter set incorrectly
2. CRANK or START FUEL set incorrectly
1.0 - 2.0V DC
3 F(+) & A(-) 3. Short/open in actuator wiring
While Cranking
4. Defective speed control
5. Defective actuator, see Actuator Troubleshooting
