DCS can't find MTH engine

It sure sounds like the engine is not seeing any DCS signal. If you have other engines and they are fine, I would suggest first talking it over with the dealer.

Does the engine have a DCS/DCC switch? set to DCS?

It runs correctly in conventional?

Are the wires inside touching the torrid coil on the board? (if you've removed the shell)

Thanks for the reply. Update: Put the engine on a track with a Zcontroller (Bell, Horn, Direction, & Knob to give it power) hooked to it only (No TIU). The engine starts up as soon as power to track, runs forward, backward, sounds, etc. I did another Factory default on it (Horn, 5 bells, + it double blew horn). When I put the engine on my track with my TIU & DCS wifi, and turn power on to track the engine still starts up right away, and when I try to" add MTH engine" same message no engine to be found. I have 7 other engines hooked up to the TIU running sevaral tracks and they can be found and run. 

My question is how to I get this MTH SD-40-2 PS 3 new engine to go from Conventional mode to DCS TIU WIFI???? Is there something else I need to do to get it to be recognized???

Thanks for any help

PS. There's no switch for dcc or dis. The engine is new old stock I bought made around 2017

When powered up in conventional.  Turn track power off.  Does it shutdown right away, or does it play extended shutdown sounds for 5 to 10 sec?  G

Oops! Great point.

If the caps aren't/won't charge up, the engine can act up.

After shutting power off to track in conventional mode, it would still makes sounds for 5 or so seconds.

Update: I decided to send it back to the man I bought it from. He had no problem with a return, so I sent it back rather than pay to get it fixed.

Thank you all for the help!
