System schematic for the spare output | |
The spare output on the GSC+P is strictly for the use of customers. The spare output is programmable in order to activate under a variety of conditions. The default parameter programming causes the GSC+P to activate the output when the engine is in cooldown mode. The GSC+P treats a CID 0334 FMI 04 as an alarm fault. For more information, refer to Systems Operation, "Spare Input/Output Programming OP6". The customer and/or the dealer are responsible for documenting and troubleshooting any connections to this output.
The voltage on the spare output is approximately 5.0 DCV when there are no connections and when the spare output is not active. When the spare output is active, the voltage on the spare output is approximately 0 volts. The spare output is capable of drawing (sinking) approximately 100 mA.
The possible cause of a CID 0334 FMI 04 is a short from the negative battery terminal (" BATT-") to the spare output signal.
Troubleshooting of a spare output fault is direct. The FMI defines the fault. FMI 04 occurs when the spare output is shorted to "BATT-". In order to find the exact cause of the fault, use the following information.
- FMI information
- system schematic of spare output
- documentation of the customer
- documentation of the dealer
Test Step 1. CHECK THE GENERATOR SET CONTROL
- Verify that the CID 0334 FMI 04 diagnostic code is active.
- Disconnect the wire from pin 36 of the GSC+P.
- Measure the voltage between pin 36 of the GSC+P and frame ground.
Expected Result:
The voltage is approximately 5 ± 1.0 DCV.
Results:
- OK - The voltage is approximately 5 ± 1.0 DCV. The voltage is correct. Proceed to Test Step 2.
- NOT OK - The voltage is NOT approximately 5 ± 1.0 DCV. The voltage is NOT correct. The GSC+P has failed.
Repair: It is unlikely that the GSC+P has failed. Exit this diagnostic code procedure and repeat the CID 0334 FMI 04 diagnostic code procedure again. If the cause of the failure is still unknown, then replace the GSC+P.
STOP
Test Step 2. CHECK FOR A SHORT TO "BATT-" IN THE WIRING OF THE SPARE OUTPUT
- Disconnect the "BATT-" terminal from the battery.
- Disconnect the wire from pin 36 of the GSC+P.
- Disconnect the other end of the wire at the customers' device.
- Measure the resistance between the wire that was disconnected from pin 36 of the GSC+P and the "BATT-" contact of the GSC+P.
Expected Result:
The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms.
Results:
- OK - The resistance is greater than 5000 ohms. The circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 3.
- NOT OK - The resistance is less than 5000 ohms. The circuit is not correct. The spare output is shorted to "BATT- ".
Repair: Repair the wiring of the spare output.
STOP
Test Step 3. RECONNECT TO CUSTOMERS' DEVICE
- Reconnect the wire to the customers' device.
- Reconnect the wire that was disconnected from contact 36 to the GSC+P.
- Turn the ECS to STOP and check if the diagnostic code is still active.
Expected Result:
The diagnostic code is not active.
Results:
- OK - The diagnostic code is not active. It is likely that the problem was in the wiring harness or the problem is intermittent.
Repair: Check the wiring between the GSC+P and the customer device for problems. Repair the wiring or replace the wiring if a problem is found. Watch for a recurrence of the diagnostic code.
STOP
- NOT OK - The diagnostic code is still active. There may be a problem with the customer device.
Repair: The customer device may have failed. Refer to the customers' documentation and the dealers' documentation for the device.
STOP
