TP-6073 4/0652 Section 8 Component Troubleshooting
To further check generator set components, disconnect
the battery and remove the wiring harness plugs from
the controller circuit board. Use an ohmmeter to check
continuity and to isolate inoperative components as
described in Figure 8-2. Also refer to the corresponding
wiring diagram in Section 10.
Note: Before performing ohmmeter checks, disconnect
the generator set battery to prevent damage to
the ohmmeter.
