Check for correct winch operation

G1427126t11 : Power Supply - Control Box

WARNING: Ensure the winch clutch is in free spool mode (Refer to winch operation manual)

NOTE:
The winch power interrupt solenoid supplies power to the winch control box
1 With the ignition state on, and the remote control connected
2 Using a multimeter, check for battery voltage between the red power feed to the control box and vehicle ground
- Is battery voltage present? (approx. 12 volts)

->Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test G1427126t12.

->No
Carry out circuit checks to investigate the loss of supply. Rectify as required. Check for correct winch operation

G1427126t12 : Control Box Input - Remote Control

WARNING: Ensure the winch clutch is in free spool mode (Refer to winch operation manual)

NOTE:
The winch control box controls the winch motor direction

NOTE:
Power out - The remote control supplies power to remote connector terminal 2 and grounds terminal 1

NOTE:
Power in - The remote control supplies power to remote connector terminal 4 and grounds terminal 1
1 Refer to the winch circuit diagrams For additional information, refer to Winch Winch - Description
2 Using a multimeter, monitor terminal 2 (Black), terminal 4 (Green) and terminal 1 (White)
- Do the terminals 2 and 4 (Power) andterminal 1 (Ground) respond correctly when the remote control is used?

->Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test G1427126t13.

->No
Carry out circuit checks to investigate the loss of supply. Rectify as required. Check for correct winch operation

G1427126t13 : Control Box - Output

WARNING: Ensure the winch clutch is in free spool mode (Refer to winch operation manual)

NOTE:
When activated the winch control box supplies power to the winch motor

NOTE:
Power out - The control box supplies power to the winch motor terminal F1 and connects winch motor terminal F2 to terminal A(Armature)

NOTE:
Power in - The control box supplies power to the winch motor terminal F2 and connects winch motor terminal F1 to terminal A(Armature)
1 Refer to the winch circuit diagrams For additional information, refer to Winch Winch - Description
2 Using a multimeter, monitor terminals F1, F2
- Do the terminals F1, and F2 respond correctly when the remote control is used?

->Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test G1427126t14.

->No
Check the connections to the control box. If all the connections are clean and secure, install a new control box as required. For additional information, refer to Winch Control Unit Winch Control Unit Refer to the warranty policy and procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation of a new module/component. Check for correct winch operation

G1427126t14 : Motor Connections

WARNING: Ensure the winch clutch is in free spool mode (Refer to winch operation manual)
