1. Check For Low Fuel Level - Check fuel level in the fuel tank. Add fuel as needed to the fuel tank. 2. Check For Additional Alarms - a. If this alarm is activated in conjunction with other alarms (00041 and 05012) check F5 and F10. Fuses must be good. Replace fuse(s) as required. Clear alarms, restart and check for repeat alarm(s). b. Check for the following alarms: 00040 Check Engine Preheat Circuit and 00035 Engine Failed to Crank. Alarm conditions must be corrected and the alarm cleared to continue. 3. Check Engine Control Unit (ENCU) and Fuel/Speed Actuator (FSA) a. Check voltage to ENCU-22. Verify correct fuse, see Figure 2.8. Must have minimum 11 VDC with the battery connected and SROS in the OFF position. b. Check voltage to ENCU-44. Must have minimum 11 VDC with SROS in the START/RUN position. If not, energize the run relay output using Component Test mode (refer to Section 5.2.4) and retest. c. Check for ground at ENCU-19. If ground not good, check connectors and wiring between terminals for damage, moisture or corrosion. d. Inspect fuel/speed actuator (FSA), engine speed sensor (ENSSN) and engine speed control unit (ENCU) connector pins and terminals. Verify no physical damage to components, and no damage or corrosion in connectors. e. Check resistance and amp draw of FSA. Refer to Section 2.12 for specifications. f. Check FSA plunger. Must move in and out freely. Refer to engine manual. 4. Check Engine Air-intake System a. Check air cleaner indicator. Flag must not be visible. b. Inspect air intake system. Verify hoses and tubes in good condition, with no kinks or restrictions. 5. Check For Correct Engine Oil - Check that viscosity is correct for ambient conditions. Refer to Section 2.8. 6.
