FAULT CODE LIGHT

______________________________________
______________________________________

Procedures:
NOTE
The engine must be running while reading fault codes.
Every time the Master Power Switch is turned on the yellow
fault lamp will flash for one to two seconds as part of the
normal power-up process. If the lamp stays lit or starts
flashing steady, then there is an active fault code.

1. Turn on Master Power

Switch. (See TM 91450-646-10)

If the same fault code repeats there is only one fault code. If
a new fault code appears toggle the fault code switch untill
the original fault code reapears then all fault codes have
been identified.

2. Toggle diagnostic
switch momentarily.
