Re: Reasons for non-functional piston?

Try taking the air lines out of the offending piston and triggering the solenoid without them in. If the air switches sides like you expect it to, you have a plumbing problem or an air pressure problem (or no problem at all). If the solenoid doesn't switch sides when you expect it to, you have a wiring problem, a code problem, or a underpressure problem (like Joe said).

Re: Reasons for non-functional piston?

If the wiring and program checks out OK and the solenoid does not switch the piston could be stuck in the manifold.
