between procedures “A” and “B”.

 

b. Serial communication problem.

b. Make sure that parameters on power source dis-

display. If not, refer to Problem 14.

 

c. Faulty local dual procedure switch, c. Disconnect harness plug from J2 on Control

 

wiring harness, or Control board.

board. Check continuity between plug pins 1 and

 

 

12 when local dual procedure switch is in position

 

 

"A", but not when in "Gun" or "B". Now check con-

 

 

tinuity between plug pins 5 and 12 when local dual

 

 

procedure switch is in position "B", but not when in

 

 

"Gun" or "A". If any of these continuity tests fail,

 

 

repair or replace switch or switch harness to cor-

A of receptacle J17 and pin 13 of plug P2. Check

 

 

that there is continuity between pin C of recepta-

between pins A and C of receptacle J17. If any of

 

 

these continuity tests fail, repair or replace switch
