Engine Does Not Crank and
Status Indicator Is Green
SMCS Code: 7631-035
The green LED of the status indicator informs the
operator that the machine security system (MSS3s)
ECM has recognized a valid key. The problem may
be unrelated to the MSS. The source of the problem
that is preventing an engine start can come from
several sources. Ensure that all of the standard
requirements for starting the machine have been
met. A few examples of the requirements are listed
here:
Interlocks in the operator seat
Hydraulic interlocks
Gear of the machine
Fuel level
This troubleshooting procedure will eliminate the
MSS as a source of the starting problem.
Note: The wires that are identified in this procedure
are not present on every machine. If the wire that is
identified in this procedure is not present, proceed to
the next Test Step.
