Possible Causes

Faulty fuel stop solenoid on SDMO engine, Stuck mechanical stop linkage, Loss of DC supply to stop solenoid, Wiring fault between controller and stop solenoid

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Be prepared to use the manual stop lever on the engine if the automatic stop fails. Keep clear of moving parts.

  • Test manual stop: Use the engine's manual stop lever to confirm that the fuel rack or throttle can be moved to the stop position. Lubricate linkages if stiff.
  • Check stop solenoid operation: With the engine off, apply DC voltage directly to the SDMO stop solenoid and listen/feel for actuation. Replace the solenoid if it does not move.
  • Inspect wiring: Trace the stop solenoid wiring back to the SDMO controller output. Repair any damaged cables or loose terminals.
  • Verify controller output: During a stop command, measure voltage at the solenoid terminals. If no voltage is present, the controller output or relay may be faulty and require replacement.
  • Reset AL19: After restoring proper stop function, clear the alarm and test several start/stop cycles.
