Go To Chart 2

Replace the DSI Module. Energize system and check for proper operation.

Check

High Voltage (HV)

Lead for nicks or cracking,

where sparking to ground may

occur. Is this wire

damaged?

No

Visually

inspect Spark

Electrode Assembly. Is ceramic cracked or Spark Electrode incorrectly gapped?

No

Visually

inspect High

Voltage (HV) Wire

connections at both DSI Module

and Ignitor Assembly.

Are connections secure?

Yes

Remove

High Voltage (HV) Wire from

Yes DSI Module and visually inspect. Is conductor

visible at end of

HV Wire?

 

Repair or replace HV Lead

Yes

Assembly.

Energize system and check

 

 

for proper operation.

 

 

If

cracked, replace Electrode

 

 

 

 

Assembly. Correct gap size

 

 

 

is 1/8" +/- 1/32" (3.175 mm +/-

 

Yes

 

 

 

0.79248 mm).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Energize system and check

 

 

 

for proper operation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.At DSI Ignitor Assembly be sure HV Wire is secure in the boot as well as the

connection to the Ignitor Probe Assembly.

No 2. At DSI Module, center the end of the HV Wire with a Spike Terminal. Energize system and check for proper operation.

Cut the end off of the HV Wire 1/4" at a time until conductor becomes visible and is flush with the insulation.

No Reconnect the HV Wire to the Spike Terminal on the DSI Module.

Energize system and check for proper operation.
