General Problem: Output is Low or Fluctuating (continued)
SPECIFIC PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Spray pattern has
variations, pressure
fluctuates excessively, or
motor runs very slowly.
Leads from motor to control board are
damaged, loose, or overheated.
Be sure terminals are centered and firmly
connected. Inspect wiring insulation and terminals
for signs of overheating, and replace any loose
terminals or damaged wiring. Securely reconnect
terminals.
Pressure control switch leads are pinched
between pump and drive housing or between
front cover and drive housing.
Make sure pressure control harness is routed
behind pump, through retention clip, and
connected to control board connector at back of
drive housing (connected with tab to the right).
Control board is damaged.
CAUTION: Do not perform control board
diagnostics until you have determined that the
armature is good. A bad motor armature can
burn out a good control board.
See Control Board Diagnostics on page 32. If
damaged, replace control board using Control
Board Kit 243228 (see List of Kits, page 31).
Pressure control switch is damaged or worn

Replace pressure control switch using Pressure
Control Switch Kit 244267 (see List of Kits,
page 31).
