Check the power is available at the wall socket before proceeding to
checking of causes.
[1] Checking the AC Adapter
1. Turn off the power of the main unit, and detach the DC plug
from the AC adapter.
2. Connect the AC plug of the AC adapter to the wall socket.
3. Using a tester, measure the voltage at the DC plug which will
be connected to the main unit. (Fig. 1)
The inner area of the DC plug is minus (-) and the outer area is
plus (+).
[Note]: Never short-circuit the plug of AC adapter. This will
damage the AC adapter.
[Judgment]
ⓦWhen the measured voltage is within the range of 14V to
19V, the AC adapter will be working fine.
ⓦWhen the measured voltage is 0V or less than 14V, the AC
adapter will be defective. In this case, you need to take
actions as specified in the repair method (a) described at
the right.
When the AC adapter is found to be correct, proceed to the following
checkings.
[2] Checking the Wiring of Control Unit
1. Loosen the seven screws on the control unit cover to remove
the control unit. (Fig. 2)
2. Remove the cable connector at the tip of the 5P cable from the
cable inlet which is located at the back of the control unit. (Fig.
2)
ⓦWhen the 5P cable has been already disconnected, this
will be the cause. In this case you need to take actions as
specified in the repair method (b) described at the right.
(a) Replace the AC adapter.
(b)Firmly connect the 5P cable connector to the cable
inlet at the back of the control unit before installing
the control unit.

[Judgment]
ⓦWhen the 5P connector has been already disconnected,
this will be the cause. In this case you need to take actions
as specified in the repair method (c) described at the right.
ⓦWhen the 2P connector has been already disconnected,
this will be the cause. In this case you need to take actions
as specified in the repair method (d) described at the right.
When both 5P and 2P connectors are connected, proceed to the
following checkings:
3. Remove the 5P connector at the power supply board. (Fig. 3)
4. Check the short-circuiting by using a tester across the two con-
nectors of the 5P cable (across two Terminal No. 2s). (Fig. 4)
If the two connectors are short-circuited, the tester reading will
be zero (0).
[Judgment]
ⓦWhen there is no short-circuiting, the 5P cable may be dis-
connected.
In this case, you need to take actions as specified in the repair
method (e) described at the right.
When short-circuiting is found, check the following:
5. Remove the 2P connector at the power supply board. (Fig. 3)
6. Connect the AC adapter to the main unit, and turn on the main
unit.
7. Measure the voltage by using a tester across the terminals of
the 2P connector. (Fig. 5)
The Terminal 1 is for minus (-) and Terminal 2 is for plus (+).
[Judgment]
ⓦWhen the voltage is not same as in the case of checking
procedure [1] (in the range of 14V to 19V), the inlet metal
base set might be defective, or the 2P cable might be dis-
connected. In this case, you need to take actions as speci-
fied in the repair method (f) described at the right.

[1] Checking the Control Unit
1. Replace the control unit with a new one.
(See [ES-9: Replacing the Control Unit].)
2. Check if the cadence will change (to slower rate) under the
manual training mode.
The check should be made by using a training mode which
provides frequent change in cadence.
[Judgment]
ⓦWhen the cadence changes correctly, the previous control
unit might be defective. In this case, you need to take ac-
tions as specified in the repair method (f) described at the
right.
When no cadence change is noted, proceed to the following proce-
dures.
[2] Checking the 5P Cable
1. Turn off the power of the main unit and remove the cover of the
main unit set.
(See [D-1: Removing the Frame Covers].)
2. Remove the 5P connector at the power supply board. (Fig. 4)
3. Check any short-circuiting across the two connectors (Termi-
nal 5s) at both ends of the 5P cable. (Fig. 5)
When there is a short-circuiting, the tester reading will be zero (0).
[Judgment]
ⓦWhen there is no short-circuiting, the 5P cable might be
disconnected.
In this case, you need to take actions as specified in the
repair method (g) described at the right.
When there is short-circuiting, proceed to the following procedures.
[3] Checking the 3P Connector
1. Remove the 3P connector at the power supply board. (Fig. 6)
2. Measure the resistance by using a tester across Terminals 1
and 2 on the 3P connector. (Fig. 7)
[Judgment]
ⓦWhen the measured resistance is in the range of 9- to 14-
ohms, the 3P connector is normal but the power supply
board might be defective. In this case, you need to take
actions as specified in the repair method (h) described at
the right.
ⓦIn case the measured resistance is excessively large, the
solenoid coil might be defective. In this case, you need to
take actions as specified in the repair method (i) described
at the right.
(f) Replace the control unit.
(See [ES-9: Replacing the Control Unit].)
(g)Replace the 5P cable.
