4. Recheck ignition sequence as follows.
a. Reconnect main valve wire.
b. Set thermostat to call for heat.
c. Watch ignition sequence at burner.
d. If spark still doesn’t stop after pilot lights,
replace ignition module.
e. If main burner doesn’t light or if main burner
lights but system locks out, check module,
ground wire and gas control as described in
appropriate troubleshooting chart, Figures
14 or 15.
Fig. 14. S8600, S8610 Troubleshooting Guide.
Check continuity of ignition cable and ground wire.
NOTE: If ground is poor or erratic, shutdowns may occur occasionally even though operation is normal at
the time of checkout.
Check that pilot flame covers flame rod and is steady and blue.
If checks are okay, replace module.

START
Check line voltage power, low voltage transformer, limit controller, thermostat (controller) and wiring. Also,
check air proving switch on combustion air blower system (if used) and that vent damper (if used) is open and
end switch is made.
Before troubleshooting, familiarize yourself with the startup and checkout procedure.
NO
TURN GAS SUPPLY OFF.
TURN THERMOSTAT
(CONTROLLER) TO CALL
FOR HEAT
POWER TO MODULE?
(24V NOMINAL)
YES
Pull ignition lead and
check spark at module.
NO
On models with vent damper plug, make sure vent damper
has not been installed, then removed. Replace vent damper
if necessary.
On other models, replace module.
Spark okay?
NO
Check ignition cable, ground wiring, ceramic insulator and gap, and correct.
Check boot of the ignition cable for signs of melting or buckling. Take protective action to shield cable and
boot from excessive temperatures.
YES
YES
Check that all manual gas valves are open, supply tubing and pressures are good, and pilot burner orifice
is not blocked.
Check electrical connections between module and pilot operator on gas control.
Check for 24 Vac across PV-MV/PV terminals on module. If voltage is okay, replace gas control; if not,
replace module.
NOTE: It may be necessary to recycle the call for heat to clear the pilot supply tubes of air.
NO
TURN GAS SUPPLY ON

Check for cracked ceramic flame rod insulator.
Check that pilot flame covers flame rod and is steady and blue.
Adjust pilot flame.
If problem persists, replace module.
NO
MAIN BURNER LIGHTS?
YES
Check for 24 Vac across MV-MV/PV terminals. If no voltage, replace module.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ENDS
Repeat procedure until troublefree operation is obtained.
•
•
YES
Models with TH-W terminal (7) must have call for heat 24 Vac supply connected to the TH-W terminal.
Models with no TH-W terminal must have call for heat 24 Vac supply connected to 24V terminal (6).
NOTE:
SPARK ACROSS
IGNITER/SENSOR GAP?
(S8660, S8670, S8680
HAVE 45 SECOND [NOMINAL]
PREPURGE BEFORE SPARK
STARTS.)
