15. If everything has passed the testing in steps 12, 13, & 14 look for a problem with
the P01 connector fitting loosely in the mating connector J01 on the controller or a
loose or broken wire in the P01 connection. Make sure the connectors are
connected properly and that the lock ring on connector P01 is secured onto
connector J01. Gently move the P01 connector around up and down and side to
side while activating the function switch.
a) Passed: function was not interrupted by movement of the connector. Go to
step 16.
b) Failed: function control is interrupted or comes and goes. Replace the
control harness, reconnect system harnesses and test system.
16. Gently move the wires going into the P01 connector around up and down and
side to side while activating the function switch. If function control is interrupted or
comes and goes. Replace the control harness, reconnect system harnesses and
test system.
Summary;
We have tried to cover the most likely problems that can occur with the 8494 electric
Sidewinder system. The monitor control module is the heart of the system. Power and
ground are fed into the module. Wires for each function come from the control side of
the module and carry signal voltage. Switching one of these function wires to the
common ground from control side of the module results in motor power being sent out
from the monitor side of the module to the appropriate motor in the polarity needed for
the chosen function. This troubleshooting guide is going to help diagnose whether the
problem is on the monitor side of the control module, the controller side of the module,
or with the module itself.
