Why is the speed reading erratic on my Stack Monitor?
If there is no speed reading or if the speed reading is erratic, with the value jumping high or low, it could be due to a faulty sensor and/or wiring (check sensor indicator for correct operation) or an incorrect sensor gap (too far or too close) - check that the gap is approximately 1mm / 40thou.
How to troubleshoot no RPM speed reading on Stack Monitor?
If there is no RPM speed reading, the cause may be incorrect wiring. Check the connection of the engine speed wire to the ignition system (or sensor, if used).
What to do if Stack Monitor display flashes and dial pointer resets?
If the display flashes and the dial pointer resets or vibrates, it could be due to an almost dead battery (recharge or replace it) or a faulty power connection to B + or B - (check power lead continuity).
Why is the tachometer reading erratic on my Stack Monitor?
If the tachometer reading is erratic and the pointer jumps high or low, it could be due to incorrect wiring (reconnect the tachometer as specified in this manual) or a noisy signal from the ignition system or coil (condition the ES signal by placing a resistor in line with the ES wire).
How do I fix an external warning light that is dead on a Stack Monitor?
If the external warning light is dead while the display warning light is OK, the bulb may have burnt out (replace the bulb), there may be faulty wiring to the light (check continuity of wiring), or the driver circuitry may be burnt out (return unit).
Why is the displayed speed value incorrect on my Stack Monitor?
If the displayed speed value is too high or too low by a constant percentage, the system may be configured with the wrong number of targets per wheel revolution. Reconfigure the system with the correct values.
Why are the display values unclear on my Stack Monitor?
If the display values and messages are unclear or unreadable due to poor contrast, the display may be too hot or too cold (ensure that the display is operated within the specified temperature range) or the ECU interface may be shorted (if fitted) - check the two core screen ECU wires for short circuits.
Why does my Stack Monitor show a fixed pressure reading of 0 PSI?
A fixed pressure reading of 0 PSI or 0.0 Bar, or a suspected low/slow reading, may be caused by a failed pressure sensor (replace sensor) or faulty sensor connections (check pressure connections).
Why does my Stack Monitor display a fixed temperature reading of 999° C?
If the display shows a fixed temperature reading of 999° C or 999° F, it may be due to a failed temperature sensor (replace sensor) or faulty sensor connections (check the continuity of sensor leads: with the sensor disconnected and the display powered up, there should be 6.25V between the sensor leads).
Why are there no alarms for water, oil, or fuel being displayed on my Stack Monitor?
If there are no alarms for water, oil, or fuel temperatures and pressures being displayed, it could be because all the alarms have been switched off (switch on the required alarms) or the engine RPM gate value is set too high (reset the RPM gate to a lower value).
