SECTION F - DIAGNOSTIC LED QUICK REFERENCE
Comparing your EC-30
™
controller to the following images, identify the fault indicated by the diagnostic
LEDs and follow the instructions in the related troubleshooting section.
ABS Modulator Fault
The red MOD LED is on to indicate a 
fault condition with an ABS modulator. 
The example shown is a front right 
modulator fault. Troubleshooting and 
repair are the same for a fault on any 
ABS modulator.
The indicated modulator fault may be a 
static or dynamic fault.
Static faults are related to wiring or 
component failures, such as open or 
short circuits.
Dynamic modulator faults are related 
to abnormal wheel speed behaviors 
during ABS.
Go to Section I.
ATC Fault
Engine Communication 
Fault
The red TRC LED is on to 
indicate a communication 
fault between the EC-30
™
controller and the engine 
controller.
Go to Section K.
ATC Modulator Fault
The red TRC and MOD 
LEDs are on to indicate a 
static fault condition with 
the ATC modulator. Static 
faults are related to wiring or 
component failures such as 
open or short circuits.
Go to Section J.
Power
System OK - A solid green VLT LED 
indicates proper voltage is reaching the 
EC-30
™
controller. If no red LEDs are
on, then no faults are detected.
If either the ABS warning lamp or ATC 
active/warning lamp is on with no red 
LEDs, go to Section C or D.
Voltage Out of Range - A fl ashing green 
VLT LED indicates ECU voltage below 
9.0 VDC or above 16.0 VDC. The VLT 
LED will fl ash until power is brought into 
normal range. Go to Section G.
No Voltage - When the VLT LED is off, 
the EC-30
™
controller is receiving very
low or no voltage. The ECU LED may be 
on in this case.  Go to Section G.
Wheel Speed Sensor Fault
The red SEN LED is on to indicate 
a fault condition with a wheel speed 
sensor. The example shown is a front 
right sensor fault. Troubleshooting and 
repair are the same for a fault on any 
wheel speed sensor.
The indicated sensor fault may be a 
static or dynamic fault.
Static faults are related to wiring or 
component failures, such as open or 
short circuits.
Dynamic faults are related to abnormal 
wheel speed signals or behaviors.
Go to Section H.
Magnetic Fault Reset - All LEDs will be on while a magnet 
is held in place at the RESET location. If one or more LEDs 
do not come on, replace the EC-30
™
controller. Do not reset
fault codes until troubleshooting of the indicated component 
is complete.
ECU Fault - The red ECU LED is on to indicate a fault condition 
internal to the EC-30
™
controller. Reset the EC-30
™
controller
with a magnet. If the fault returns, replace the EC-30
™
controller.
If the red ECU LED is on and the green VLT LED is off, the 
EC-30
™
controller may have very low voltage.
