Check the batteries. Charge or replace if necessary.

 

Verify the truck switches and wiring

Check the resistance and wiring in the truck dash for the air shutoff valve switches.

 

Verify the proximity switch resistance

Disconnect the proximity switch from the OEM harness and check the resistance of the switch. The switch resistance should be between 15 and 25 ohms. Replace the switch if not within specification.

 

Verify the diagnostic voltage from the ECM connector

Disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM and verify the diagnostic voltage. Replace the ECM if 5-VDC is present. Refer to Procedure 019-031 in Section 19. If 5-VDC is not present, troubleshoot the OEM harness. Refer to Procedure 019-043 in Section 19.

 

Verify the air shutoff valve operation. Note: The air shutoff valve may become sluggish over time.

The air shutoff valve must close. Replace, as necessary.
