Engine alarms: oil pressure, battery charge, fuel, air filter
What to do when a sensor of the separate fan-drive engine of the Hectare Mini reports low oil pressure, no battery charge, low fuel or a dirty air filter.
The sensors of a separate fan-drive engine all raise the same alarm text, “FAILURE”. The device line names the sensor — that line is what you look up here. The settings of these sensors: Engine sensors of the fan drive.
The ignition sensor raises no alarm. It keeps the oil pressure and battery charge alarms quiet while the ignition is off.
“Emergency oil pressure”
What it means. The low oil pressure sensor of the engine has triggered — with the ignition on, if there is an ignition sensor.
What to check, in this order:
- Stop the engine and check the oil level and the oil pressure.
- The oil pressure sensor is serviceable.
- “Activation signal” of the oil pressure sensor: compare Pin: on its status screen with the real state.
- If the alarm comes with the engine off: is the ignition sensor in the profile and under control? Is it serviceable?
“No battery charge”
What it means. The battery is not being charged by the engine — with the ignition on, if there is an ignition sensor.
What to check, in this order:
- The alternator, its belt and the charging circuit of the engine.
- The battery charge sensor is serviceable.
- “Activation signal” of the battery charge sensor.
- If the alarm comes with the engine off: is the ignition sensor in the profile and under control? Is it serviceable?
“Low fuel”
What it means. Little fuel is left in the tank of the engine.
What to check, in this order:
- Refuel.
- The fuel level sensor is serviceable.
- “Activation signal” of the fuel level sensor.
- “Signal delay, sec” — fuel slopping in the tank on rough ground can trigger it; the default is 15 seconds.
“Air filter”
What it means. The air filter of the engine is dirty.
What to check, in this order:
- Clean or replace the air filter.
- The air filter sensor is serviceable.
- “Activation signal” of the air filter sensor.
- “Signal delay, sec” — the default is 5 seconds.
