TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
LOSS OF AMBER WARNING LIGHT AND/OR OVERSPEED LIGHT
NOTE
•
Conduct these malfunction tests if there is a loss of amber warning light or overspeed
light. This procedure will check for a faulty light bulb, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), CTIS
wiring harness, vehicle wiring harness connections, and speed signal generator.
•
The CTIS incorporates an over speed warning and an automatic pressure increase to
prevent operation of the vehicle with insufficient tire pressure. This system incorporates
a sensor to measure vehicle speed, a panel mounted flashing light, and a connection to
the vehicle blackout lights to prevent flashing of the amber warning light when the vehicle
is operating under blackout conditions. The ECU periodically measures the speed of the
vehicle and compares the speed to programmed limits. If these limits are exceeded, the
warning light and automatic pressure increase functions are actuated.
STEP
1.
IS THE AMBER WARNING LIGHT OUT WHEN THERE IS AN OVERSPEED PRESSURE CHANGE?
Verify there was an overspeed pressure change.
CONDITION/INDICATION
IS THE AMBER WARNING LIGHT OUT WHEN THERE IS AN OVERSPEED PRESSURE CHANGE?
DECISION
YES - Amber light problem. Go to Step (2).
NO - Overspeed light problem. Go to Step (5).
