Re: PCM Solenoid Fuse

A quick look for "solenoid fuse fault" in the PCM manual didn't find a description of exactly what that means. I suspect that it is something internal to the PCM rather than the supply fuse. Perhaps the 12 volt solenoids are overdrawing the 24 V supply and disabling the solenoid outputs. If the fault was referring the PCM supply fuse, i think it would be worded differently.

I like connecting the PCM to a 20 amp breaker slot rather than the fused output. I read table 4.2 of rule R48 as allowing that.
