  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the generator.
  2. Ignition ON, engine OFF, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Engine running, test for greater than 3 V between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
