- Verify the wire for the sensor and the wire for the ignitor are
connected to the correct terminals (not reversed) on the
module. NOTE: Sensor has 3/16” (4.8mm) connection

Loose connection.
- Verify no loose connections, electrical shorts in the wiring
or ground out to any metal object.
Module.
- Turn the ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position. Remove
the igniter wire from the module. Place the ON/OFF switch
to the “ON” position. Hold a grounded wire about 3/16”
(4.8mm) away from the ignitor (spark) terminal on the
module. If no spark the ignitor terminal module must be
replaced. If there is a spark the ignitor terminal is fi ne.
Inspect pilot assembly for a shorted wire or cracked
insulator around the electrode.
Igniter Spark gap is incorrect.
- Spark gap of the ignitor to the pilot should be 1/8” (3.2mm).
Transformer.
- Verify the transformer is installed and plugged into the
module. Check voltage of the transformer under load at
the spade connections on the module with the ON/OFF
switch in the “ON” position. Acceptable readings of a good
transformer are between 6.2 and 7.0 volts A.C.
