1.
Check for
12
volts at the
PREHEAT
switch
and
at the
S terminal
on
the
preheat
solenoid.
2.
No activation with
12
volts
at the
S terminal.
Tap
solenoid
with a mallet to determine if
it
is
stuck internally. Solenoid
should produce a click
when
activated
and
deactivated.
3.
Twelve
volts
is
present at
the glow plugs.
Remove
each
plug
and
check the
resistance
of the plugs with
an
ohmmeter.
(1.5
-
2.2
ohm.)
1.
Check for
12
volts
at
the
fuel
pump connections.
If
12
volts
are
present,
the
pump
is
possibly faulty.
Tap
pump with a
mallet.
Pump's plunger
may
be
stuck.
Check for contamination
which will affect the
pump.
1.
Check for
12
volts
at
lead
positive terminal at the back
of the
fuel
solenoid
when
the
PREHEAT
button
is
depressed.
Twelve
volts with no activation
indicates a faulty solenoid.
2.
Less
than
10
volts found
at
the
lead
terminal
on
the solenoid
will not properly activate the
solenoid
and
will
cause
a
failure.
Check for low batteries or
voltage
loss
in
small
electrical wiring or
corroded connections.
3.
Check that shut off lever
is
returned to the
run
position.
