Self-Test Diagnostics
The unit’s control module is equipped with a self-test diagnostic
function which can be read using a light emitting diode (LED). To
access the error codes displayed in the control module, you will
need the items in Fig. 3. Refer to Fig. 4 - Fig. 5.5 for diagnostic
instructions.

Reading the LED
If an error code is activated in the control module (Fig. 5.2, E) and
the LED (Fig. 4, A) is connected, it will fl ash a number of times. The
number of fl ashes will depend on what error was recorded. Each
fl ash will last 1/4 second and after the code is fl ashed there will be
a delay, then the code will repeat.
Write down all error codes; then refer to "Self-Test Diagnostic
Chart" in this section.
