Note: The "Emergency Kill" switch is DISABLED when the "Deck Engine Control Mode" switch is in the J-Box position. The "Deck Engine Control Mode" switch is located on the side of the Junction Box.
Note: The "Emergency Kill" switch is activated or ON when the switch is in the ON position. The "Emergency Kill" switch is deactivated or OFF when the "Emergency Kill" switch is in the OFF position.
When the "Emergency Kill" switch is active, the engine will not run. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) will also trigger the Air Shutoff. When the "Emergency Kill" switch is activated, the "Emergency Kill Relay" is activated. A set of contacts that are normally closed opens up. The open contacts remove the digital ground from the two emergency shutdown inputs of the ECM. The fuel supply to the injectors will be cut off and the air shutoff relays will be activated.
The ECM receives two signals from the "Emergency Kill" switch. The signals allow the ECM to determine the status of the "Emergency Kill" switch. The ECM will shut down the engine when both of the signals are open. When both of the signals are connected to the digital return the switch is NOT active and the engine will run.
If two different signals are detected during the powerup, the ECM will determine that one of the signals is incorrect. A diagnostic code will be logged and a diagnostic code will remain active. The engine will continue to run when the ECM detects two different signals. If both of the signals are open, the engine will stop.
