Fault lamp lights - no fault condition exists.Be certain that no fault condition exists. Disconnect lead 29, 30 and 31 from TB11 inside control box (refer to wiring diagram). If fault lamp still lights with leads disconnected, remove and replace engine monitor plug-in printed circuit board.
Fault lamp lights after engine is running.Check the following: a. Oil level-engine will shut down after approximately 12-172'seconds if low oil pressure sensor does not open. b. Oil pressure sensor may be defective. c. High engine temperature - caused by low coolant level, faulty thermostat, etc. d. Faulty high engine temperature sensor. e. Faulty starter disconnect.
Fault lamp lights and, engine stops cranking after approximately 75 seconds.See engine service manual for troubleshooting fuel system, ignition system, etc. After correcting problem, reset the engine monitor by moving run-stop/reset-remote switch to reset position. Release and return to run position.
Fault lamp lights immediately after engine starts.Check for: a. overspeed condition as engine starts. b. high temperature condition. c. faulty high engine temperature sensor or overspeed switch. d. faulty starter disconnect.
