My Electric Generator Won't Start

Stop SHOUTING!

Maybe since it's dark where he is at so he needed to write big?

Go to the Volvo website and download it.

"Won't start" could mean any of 50 different things.

I've been to Volvo site,I could not find the wiring drawing Please help is still needed.thanks

The problem is e-mail and websites. Wrong media for problem-solving!

• Get on the phone to Volvo. Be a total pest with them. Irritate them until what is needed arrives. Talk to a technical specialist there, who may be able to diagnose the problem over the phone.
• If that doesn't work, use the phone to arrange for the local technical specialist to call in, diagnose, fault-find and advise. What is needed is something faster.
• Surely there is a planned preventative maintenance schedule on this thing? If not, then use the phone to set one up.

Now that is "responsibility" - the ability to respond to the problem at hand.

Have checked, no visible wire breaks, starter motor not responding from digital control panel which says I should check ECU. Starter motor cranks engine on direct test but engine will not combustion running. Without the wiring diagram,I am becoming lost in this darkness .This location is so inaccessible. I need WIRING DIAGRAM link or VOLVO PENTA TAD734GE expert I can't seem to get any.please help

If you have done everything stated in the OPERATOR MANUAL diagnostics, and no joy, it's time to get in contact with an expert. "Responsible" means exactly that and wiring diagram even if you had it, on a "won't start" expertise, can't go far. S.M.

Thanks. Im still on the search for a solution information

Have you gone through the basic troubleshooting steps in the operations manual, page 49 (pdf), available here?

Iris, I've sent a mail to this link's service email address, I was replied in bad English and I have not been given the WIRING DIAGRAM. Please I can include your correspondence email address if you are willing to assist me. Thanks

Do you have fuel?

Thanks and yes I have gone through the operators maintenance manual and checks. And yes I have fuel. What I am facing here is loss of ECU control command WIRING DIAGRAM please Thank you

I hope you would have interchanged battery unit - from other gen. unit or for Ah verification .

At this point , I don't mind buying it (source?) .Yes I have checked the batteries Ah (current) wiring drawing please. Thank you

If you read, you have been given the link.

Thanks all, I'm in an email correspondence with 'the link ' but I have not got the WIRING DIAGRAM yet.any other corresponding solution to my woe is welcome WIRING DIAGRAM please

If you expect loss of control command - from software side ; program needs to be uploaded .

If from hardware - dry soldering / loose connection or replacement of cable based on DMM's continuity tester feedback ( w.r.t. Ohmic value between points ) would be of our concern . In this case , similar gen. set if with yourselves - will be much easier for comparing the values ; w/o drawings . 5V DC if used by them - that should exist .

Other drawings will also give reliable feedbacks . Apart from this , we always don't need drawings . I will prefer to give references of earlier discussions on similar topics in this Forum .

Thanks to CR4, I have the wiring diagram now, from what is before me now, I am dealing with a CAN J1939-75 diagnosis. This engine is equipped with a CAN bus communication system.The control panel is MICS TELYS and the ECU is tad734ge (volvo penta/powertrain) I have contacted volvo penta representative. and their quote is prohibitive due to their proximity.The engine is receiving mechanical. attention by an experienced mechanic due to water ingress from existing poorly constructed exhaust routing. Present control panel faults reads; "Engine CAN BUS" and "CAN BUS 1" When the mechanic is done, I hope to eliminate this "CANbus" issue, but how? I don't yet

CAN Bus communication is claimed for its efficiency even if its one of the terminals come into contact with Ground or Supply voltage .

Perhaps , loose connection { no contiuity } or both are in contact with ! - could also be a cause . You may check for its voltage availability as well .

Sure Sivaa. And thanks, we have resorted to alternative electric source. The CANbus is responding with associated OEM interconnections with all fault codes eliminated. The pending issue before me now is STUCK MECHANICAL PISTONS due to water ingress. I'm working with a mechanic now to free the ringed stuck pistons.I shall celebrate with CR4 here on success

So , you now work for stand-by source . It is good to have such an alternative . Regards .
