VAL6 KBE5S  Trouble Shooting

Possible Cause

How to check

Result

Remedy

Reference

Phenomenon

Short circuit of
igniter

Unplug igniter
connector(CN 4) from
burner controller, then
measure resistance
between terminals

If resistance value is 0

,

primary side of igniter is
short-circuited

Replace igniter

 

Without tester

 

Unplug connector (CN
4) from igniter, and then
start operation

If fuse doesn't blow out,
igniter is short-circuited

Replace igniter

About 5
seconds after
turning on

Short circuit of
pump coil

Unplug fuel pump
connector (CN 6) from
burner controller, then
measure resistance
between terminals

If resistance value is 0

,

pump coil is short-
circuited

Replace fuel pump

 

Without tester

Unplug fuel pump
connector (CN 6), then
turn on

If fuse doesn't blow out,
pump coil is short-
circuited

Replace fuel pump
