Schematic for the wiring between the generator output power sensor and the ECM
Carefully inspect the wiring between the generator output power sensor and the ECM. Refer to Illustration 1. Determine if a potentiometer has been connected to the wiring. Expected Result:A potentiometer is connected to the wiring.Results:
Yes - A potentiometer is connected to the wiring. Proceed to Test Step 3.
No - A potentiometer is not connected to the wiring. Proceed to Test Step 2.Test Step 2. Install a PotentiometerThe potentiometer must have the following characteristics:
5000 Ohms
Linear taper
10 turnsThe wattage rating of the potentiometer is not important. 122-9457 Potentiometer meets these specifications.
Connect the terminal for the wiper to an end terminal. Use a piece of 16 gauge wire in order to make the connection.
Connect an ohmmeter to the end terminals of the potentiometer. Measure the resistance between the end terminals.
Adjust the potentiometer in order to create the minimum resistance across the terminals.
Refer to Illustration 1. Connect the potentiometer to the wiring. Use 16 gauge wire in order to make the connections. You may connect the potentiometer to the positive terminal or to the negative terminal of the generator output power sensor. Expected Result:The potentiometer is connected correctly.Results:
OK - The potentiometer is connected properly. Proceed to Test Step 4.
Not OK - The potentiometer is not connected properly.Repair: Make repairs to the installation, as needed.STOPTest Step 3. Adjust the Potentiometer to the Minimum Value
Disconnect one of the wires that is used to connect the potentiometer to the circuit.
Connect an ohmmeter to the end terminals of the potentiometer.
Adjust the potentiometer in order to create the minimum resistance across the terminals.
Reconnect the wire to the circuit. Expected Result:The potentiometer is set to the minimum value.Results:
OK - The potentiometer is set to the minimum value. Proceed to Test Step 4.
Not OK - The potentiometer is not set to the minimum value.Repair: The potentiometer must be set to the minimum value before you continue with this procedure. Perform this Test Step again. When the potentiometer is set to the minimum value, continue with this procedure.STOPTest Step 4. Adjust the PotentiometerNote: The multimeter must be connected to the P1 connector.

Insert 7X-1710 Multimeter Probes into terminals P1-19 and P1-25. Connect a digital voltmeter to the probes. The polarity of the connections is not important.
Restore the electrical power to the engine. Set the engine control to the STOP mode.
Verify that the probes are making good contact with the terminals inside the connector. Measure the DC voltage at the terminals.
While you are measuring the voltage at the terminals of the ECM, slowly adjust the potentiometer. The voltage reading will decrease as you increase the resistance. The adjustment is correct when the voltage reading is between 0.00 VDC and 0.01 VDC. A reading of zero VDC is ideal. Expected Result:The voltage decreases as the potentiometer is adjusted. The final voltage is between 0.0 VDC and 0.01 VDC.Results:
OK - The voltage is between 0.0 VDC and 0.01 VDC. The calibration procedure has been completed successfully.Repair: Adjust the "Power Monitoring" parameters. Refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control System Parameters".STOP
Not OK - The potentiometer cannot be adjusted in order to attain a DC voltage between 0.0 VDC and 0.01 VDC.Repair: Replace the potentiometer and perform this entire procedure again.STOP
