Checking the function of the flame sensor




- Ignition on.
Activate the glow plug.
Read off temperature at the flame sensor by clicking on the VCT2000 symbol. The temperature must rise after activating the glow plug.

Caution! Do not activate the glow plug for more than 10-20 seconds.

If the temperature does not rise after activating the glow plug, this is an indication that the fault is permanent.
If the temperature rises after activating the glow plug, this is an indication that the fault was present previously but that it is not active at the moment, i.e. an intermittent fault.

Checking the component and wiring








- Ignition off
- Disconnect the connector for the flame sensor.
Check the terminals. Check for contact resistance. Check for loose connections. Check for oxidation.
Check the cable between control module terminal #1 and the flame sensor terminal. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Check the cable between control module terminal #2 and the flame sensor terminal. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.
