Possible Causes
- •Engine oil pressure drops to 14.2 psi
- •Coolant temperature reaches 212°F (100°C)
- •Engine failed to start after 3 attempts (with approximately 10-second intervals between start cycles)
- •Engine is running at an unsafe speed
- •Engine fails to start after 3 attempts
- •Engine runs at an unsafe speed
- •Oil pressure fell below 14.2 psi (98 kPa) detected via variable resistive values from the oil pressure sending unit
- •Engine temperature exceeded 212° F (100° C) detected via variable resistive values from the temperature sending unit
- •Engine fails to engage (start) by the third cranking attempt (pre-set at 10 seconds per attempt)
- •Engine is running at an unsafe speed (RPMs)
- •Low coolant level
- •Loss of magnetic pickup
- •Engine failed to start after 3 attempts (10-second intervals between start cycles)
- •Engine pressure has fallen below 15 psi
- •Engine temperature has exceeded 239 °F
- •Unit attempted to start a pre-programmed number of times and failed to start (pre-set at 3 cycles with a 10 second duration)
- •MPEC Control Switch is set to the OFF/RESET position
- •Low engine oil pressure
- •Engine coolant overheating
- •Engine failed to start after 3 start cycles of approximately 10-second intervals
