Test 1: Identify the following wire ends in the plug.
Using a digital multi-meter set to the lowest scale
(0-200 ohms) place the probes onto the harness
making sure of a good connection. Resistance should
be between 47.7 and 58.3 ohms. See Figure 10.
If either test fails the DLA is no good and should be
replaced. If both test are good the DLA is neither
shorted or open, and should be good. An another
component, connection or input is most likely at fault.
GCU Circuit Test
Remove the GCU and unplug the
wiring harness. See Figures 6 and 7.
Test 2: Identify the following wire ends in the plug.
Using a digital multi-meter set to the lowest scale
(0-200 ohms) place the probes onto the harness
making sure of a good connection. Resistance should
be between 47.7 and 58.3 ohms. See Figure 11.
Inspect wiring harness for
broken wire or bad connections.
(Repair/Replace as required)
Test supply ground circuit to GCU
using a continuity OHM/tester.
See Figure 8.
Locate the Speed Control input wire. The connection is either a single wire red w/yellow
tracer, or a 6 pin connector body with a red wire w/yellow tracer. See Figures 12 or 13.
Unplug and connect a jumper wire to the red wire
with a yellow tracer on the engine wire harness.
Start the engine in the normal manner as described in the Owner’s Manual.
(Engine will initially operate at speed it was last run or shut down)
Attach open end of jumper wire to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Engine speed increases
(if it was at low speed)
Engine speed does not change.
The Kohler electronic governor system tests OK.
Test the control system of the equipment. Refer
to the Equipment Manufacturer’s diagnostic
procedures for the control system.
Proceed to Ground/Power and OHMs test for GCU

Kohler Electronic Governor Troubleshooting Chart (continued)
Turn the key switch to the "ON" position.
Test supply voltage to GCU using volt
meter. Refer to Figure 9
(battery voltage +/- 1 volt) Note:
Prevent Damage to the Connector.
Do Not Use Oversized Probe Tips.
