TROUBLE PROBABLE
CAUSE
SOLUTION
1. Air always flows through

installed.
A. Check typical installation
diagram and correct.
B. Relay valve not sealing
properly.
B. Check for damaged sealing
ring, replace relay valve or
damaged parts.
C. Solenoid is not sealing,
pressure remains in APP port of
relay valve.
C. Check solenoid potential at the
lead to ground should be 0. If not,
fix ignition switch problem.
2. Starter engages but does not
run,
A. Bad relay valve
A. Replace relay valve.
3. Starter does not run, small air
flow from turbine exhaust or
drive housing.
