DCA CIRCUIT DIAGNOSTICS.
These DCA diagnostic tests can be run anytime you
think there is a problem with the paving machines DCA
or its on board transducers. Do not use this paragraph
to test the STE/ICE-R and its cables and transducers.
Refer to TM 9-4910-571-12&P to test the STE/ICE-R and
for using the STE/ICE-R in the TK mode to substitute for
tests run through the DCA.
The following table gives a cross reference between
DCA tests and TK tests. Use this cross reference to find
out how to substitute TK tests for DCA tests if you have
suspect DCA transducer or interconnect wiring. A wiring
diagram of the DCA assembly is provided for reference
on page 2-378. STE/ICE-R test procedures are provided
for reference on pages 2-379 through 2-382.

Install TK pressure transducer in place of DCA
differential pressure switch. Measure pressure on
both sides of filter; calculate difference If STEACE-R
indicates pass and pressure difference is less than
15.5 psi, or if STE/ICE-R indicates fail and pressure
difference is greater than 11.5 psi, DCA differential
pressure switch is OK
