Check:  Line voltage (120VAC)
 
Low voltage transformer (19.5 minimum VAC)
 
ON/OFF switch
 
Wiring connections 
  Unplug ignition lead and 
  check spark at module   
 
 
(24VAC normal). 
 
Is spark OK? 
No  
Replace module
 
yES
A. Check ignition cable ground wiring, ceramic insulator and 
gap. Correct if necessary.
B. Does ignition cable show signs of melting or buckling?  
Take protective action to shield cable and boot from 
excessive temperatures. 
A. Are all manual gas valves open?
  Are supply tubing and pressure good?
  Are pilot burner orifices blocked?
B. Check electrical connections between module and pilot 
operator on gas control.
C. Check for 24VAC across PV-MVPV terminals.
  If voltage is correct, replace gas control.
  If voltage is not correct, replace module. 
NOTE: If module goes into lockout, reset system.
A. Check continuity of ignition cable and ground wire.
B. Clean flame rod.
C. Check electrical connections between flame rod and 
module.
D. Is ceramic flame rod insulator cracked?
E. Is pilot flame a steady blue? Does flame cover flame rod?
  If not, adjust pilot flame. Replace module if problem 
persists.
A. Check for 24VAC across MV-MVPV terminal. 
  Replace module if there is no voltage. 
B. Are electrical connections between module and gas 
control good?  
If connections are good, replace gas control or gas 
control operator.
NOTE: If module goes into lockout, reset system.
A. Check continuity of ignition cable and ground wire.
  NOTE: If ground is poor or erratic, shutdown may 
occasionally occur even though operation is normal 
at time of checkout. 
B. Is pilot flame a steady blue? Does flame cover flame rod?
  If above checks out, replace module.
