Symptoms

The pneumatic system reports a solenoid valve coil open circuit. The electromagnetic coil in a directional control valve is open.

Possible Causes

  • Coil winding burned out from overvoltage
  • Coil lead wire broken at the terminal
  • Thermal fuse in the coil opened from overheating

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Test the coil resistance with a multimeter
    Resistance is infinite or out of range
  2. Step 2: Inspect the coil and lead wires for damage
    Burn marks or broken wire visible
  3. Step 3: Replace the coil with the correct voltage rating
    New coil shows correct resistance

How to Reset

To reset: Replace the faulty coil, then clear the alarm.
