Troubleshooting
For all electrical problems, the use of the quick refer-
ence troubleshooting method is recommended. Using
the Diagnostic ACE
TM
Display allows you to quickly find
the source of the electrical problem.
For inter
mittent electrical problems, which are not
repeatable, use of the Data Log System is recom-
mended. The data log system records the actual state
of machine inputs and outputs at the time of malfunction.
Your Toro Distributor can then isolate the cause of the
electrical problem.

t.
2. ECU has detected an output with an open circuit.
Use diagnostic display to find which output is malfunc-
tioning.
If the diagnostic lamp is
OFF
:
1. Loop-back connector is not attached.

ly.
Check electrical connections, input fuses and diagnos-
tic light to find malfunction. Make sure loop-back con-
nector is secured to wire harness connector.
