    Illustration 1g00865679

    (1) Crankcase pressure contactor

    (2) Hose

  1. Disconnect hose (2) from the engine block.

  1. Apply low pressure air into the hose in order to activate contactor (1). The pressure must be at least 1 kPa (4 inches of H2O) higher than the ambient air pressure.

    If the contactor is operating properly, an engine shutdown is initiated.

  1. Reconnect hose (1). Make sure that the hose has a constant downward slope.

If the engine shutdown is not initiated, there may be a problem with the hose, the contactor, and/or the wiring for the contactor.
