MEDIUM

severity

🎯 Top Causes, Ranked by Likelihood

#1Short to voltage in the control wiring$50-$250

40%

A wire shorted to a power source pulls the circuit voltage high.

#2Open circuit in the control wiring$50-$250

25%

An open can read high depending on circuit design.

#3Failed IMRC actuator or solenoid$100-$400

25%

A failed actuator can produce an abnormal high reading.

#4Corroded connector or poor contact$50-$200

10%

Corrosion creates resistance that skews the voltage high.
