Trouble shooting Kioti dk35se

[Mike1955]

It sounds like maybe any of that safety stuff, like the seat switch. And also I believe you indicated the ignition switch was tricky and that be easy to check.

I don’t hear or feel the solenoid click, I swapped the starter relay and engine shut off relay as well as bought another one, the tractor will still crank so I don’t think it’s the relay. Using a digital multimeter I get 9.66 volts from the wire harness leading to the engine shut off solenoid. The tractor battery reads 12.14. I tested the original engine shut off solenoid by attaching wire leads to a car battery (bad thing to do?) and it retracts no problem. I thought I saw the voltage requirements for the engine shut off solenoid somewhere in my searches.

Have you double checked all the fuses? I dont recall if you could manually move the stop solenoid in the kioti to try to force it to open.

Heres what i have in manual

All Fuel solenoids in the KIOTI DKSE Series have 2 coils. A Pull coil and a Hold coil. Depending on the year of the tractor, the fuel solenoid plug will have either 2 or 3 pins. On the 2 pin plugs, one pin is Pull, one is Hold, and ground is supplied by body ground. On later model units the plug will have 3 pins. Same as above except the center pin is ground. If you don't hear the clap of the solenoid when the key is turned to "on", the solenoid is not opening. The Pull side of the coil should have power for about 1 second. The Hold side will have power continuously with the key on.

The pull side is controlled by the timer circuit. Again, depending on the year of the tractor, this is done through the Timer Relay (early models), or through the Display Unit (later models). The Timer or Display Unit send the Pull Coil timed signal to the fuel relay, which switches the pull coil power. So...you first need to determine which system is in your tractor depending on the serial number, then trouble shoot the system as described above.

Hope this helps

I replaced the ignition switch today, no difference. I got a new multi meter and tested the wiring harness again. With the multi meter leads stuck in the red/hot and middle/black ports of the harness it reads 9.66v when I turn the key, and then climbs to 11.9 when the glow plug turns off. With the multimeter leads in the red/hot and the black multimeter lead in the neutral (?) blue wire slot it only reads .7 volts. Can I reroute/jump the blue wire from the engine shut-off solenoid to the relay?

Mine is a 2008, the wire harness has 3 wires, so maybe display unit? Is that the larger module above the relays under the hood above the fuel tank?
