What to do if the low oil pressure message doesn't appear on my Stack Monitor?
If the Low Oil P message does not appear on power up and the warning light is not turned on, the pressure sensor may have failed (replace sensor), the sensor connections may be faulty (check for continuity on sensor lead), or the oil pressure alarm may be disabled (check that the oil pressure alarm is set on).
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 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 is my Stack Monitor fuel level reading stuck?
If the fuel level reading does not change, it could be due to incorrectly connected fuel sender wiring, a faulty fuel sender, a fuel sender not suitable for use with ST8130 Display System, or the fuel sender not being calibrated. Check the wiring and fuel sender. Check with your Stack dealer for a suitable alternative. See Chapter 4 for information on how to calibrate the fuel sender.
Why is my Stack Monitor showing a fixed temperature reading?
If the water or oil temperature display shows a fixed reading of 0°C or 0°F when the water temperature is above 12°C or 55°F, or the air temperature display shows a fixed reading of -99°C or -99°F when the ambient temperature is above -20°C or -4°F, a temperature sensor may have failed (disconnect sensor and short its leads together; if the reading changes, replace the sensor) or there may be faulty sensor connections (check continuity of sensor leads for open circuits).
How to fix a dead display on a Stack Monitor?
If the display is dead, with no backlight or green dial lights, the possible causes are: the ignition is off (turn the ignition on); the battery is dead (recharge or replace the battery); or there is a faulty power connection to B + or B - (check if the battery is connected correctly and check power lead continuity).
Why does the speed reading die after a short time on my Stack Monitor?
If the speed reading dies after a short time, the ambient temperature may be too high. Shield the sensor from radiated heat from brakes and bearings and insulate sensor from conducted heat with fibre washers.
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.
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).
What causes a fixed pressure reading of 999 PSI on a Stack Monitor?
A fixed pressure reading of 999 PSI or 99.9 Bar may be caused by a failed pressure sensor (replace sensor) or faulty sensor connections (check continuity of sensor leads for open circuits).
