Short Circuit to Ground

¿Qué significa ShortCircuitGround ?

This diagnostic indicates that a short circuit to ground condition exists on an output point. This means the output wiring or the connected load has inadvertently made contact with the protective earth ground or a grounded enclosure. The tag automatically resets to 0 when the condition is removed.

• Output wiring insulation breakdown, causing contact with a grounded surface or enclosure
• Internal fault within the load device causing its output terminal to short to ground
• Incorrect wiring where the output terminal is directly connected to ground

1. 1

   Disconnect the load from the affected output terminal.

2. 2

   Use a multimeter to measure resistance between the output terminal and protective earth ground — expect a very high resistance (open circuit).

3. 3

   Visually inspect all physical wiring associated with the affected output for damaged insulation or contact with grounded components.
