Corrective Actions
1. Check PSCON a. Inspect generator contactor coil and terminals. Verify there is no damage to coil, and no damage or corrosion at terminals. b. Check contactor coil resistance. Refer to Section 2.11 for correct electrical values. Cannot be opened (infinite ohms), shorted (Zero Ohms) or shorted to ground. c. Check amp draw of coil. Refer to Section 2.11 for correct electrical values. Use ammeter. 2. Check PSCON Current Draw - Use Component Test mode to test actual current draw of the circuit. (Refer to Section 5.2.4.) Refer to Section 2.11 for correct electrical values. View current draw in Component Test mode screen. 3. Check PSCON Wiring a. Inspect harness and control box connector pins and terminals CCB-13 to PSCON1-A1. (See wiring schematic Section 10.2) Verify there is no physical damage to harness. b. Check PSCON for loose wires or open. Verify there is no damage, moisture, or corrosion in connectors.
