INTRODUCTION TO SIMPLIFIED TEST EQUIPMENT FOR INTERNAL

COMBUSTION ENGINE--REPROGRAMMABLE (STE/ICE-R) TROUBLESHOOTING

This work package (WP) contains information that may be used with the STE/ICE-R to locate

malfunctions that may occur in M44A2 series trucks.

The STE/ICE-R test set is a tool to help the mechanic troubleshoot and diagnose malfunctions and

quickly repair an inoperative system. The STE/ICE-R is used primarily with the vehicle electrical

system. The STE/ICE-R is portable and operates on either a 12-volt or 24-volt vehicle battery or

equivalent power source.

The STE/ICE-R measures standard voltage, current, resistance, pressure, temperature, and speed.

Special tests, such as compression balance tests and starter system evaluations, can be performed by

the STE/ICE-R.

The diagnostic tests performed by the STE/ICE-R are used during troubleshooting, during Preventive

Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), or after replacing parts to isolate malfunctions, anticipate

failures, and ensure proper repairs have been made. STE/ICE-R setup and internal checks must be

performed prior to testing. Specific setup procedures are listed in WP 0017 00, Engine Go Chain

Troubleshooting.

TM 9-4910-571-12&P, Simplified Test Equipment for Internal Combustion Engines, describes the

operation and organizational maintenance of the STE/ICE-R system. The manual contains detailed

operating procedures for general and specific measurements and lists the diagnostic tests that can be

performed.

WP 0017 00, STE/ICE-R Go Chain Troubleshooting, and WP 0018 00, STE/ICE-R No-Go Chain

Troubleshooting, also list the diagnostic tests that can be performed. These WPs contain flowcharts that

systematically guide the mechanic through the diagnostic tests.

The PMCS charts (WP 0023 00) contain a list of various problems that may occur during operation or

inspection of the vehicle. When one of the malfunctions listed occurs, the mechanic proceeds to the

associated STE/ICE-R chain index.

The diagnostic tests listed in the TM and WPs cited above cannot cover all possible problems. If a

particular malfunction is not covered, refer to the Electrical Troubleshooting System Index

(WP 0011 00), and locate the troubleshooting procedure for the malfunctions observed. To obtain the

maximum number of observed symptoms, ask the operator.
