How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker.
- Measure sensor resistance: Remove the sensor and test with a multimeter. A very low resistance (near 0 Ω) indicates a short; replace the sensor.
- Inspect harness: Look for melted or pinched wires touching metal. Repair or replace as needed.
- Dry and clean connectors: If moisture is present, dry thoroughly and use contact cleaner.
- Replace EOC if necessary: If the sensor and wiring are good, the control board may be faulty.
