Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your PMV are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed below develops.
NOTE: Your PMV will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the PMV has been turned off, then turned back on.

Fuse Replacement
In the event a fuse should cease to work:
!Remove the fuse by pulling it out of its slot.
!Examine the fuse to be sure it is blown. See figures 21 and 21A.
!Insert a new fuse of the proper rating.
