I have an MTH Premier F3 that I upgraded to PS2 when the diesel upgrade kits first became available.
The unit has a 3 volt battery.
When the engine would not respond to START UP command, I first tried charging the battery with an MTH battery charger through the charging port.
I then tried to start the engine in DCS. Got the ENGINE NOT ON TRACK message.
I deleted the engine from the remote.
I tried reentering the engine from the remote with the recharged battery. It would not enter. After the process was finished, the engine took off on its own.
I purchased and charged a new MTH 3 volt battery and installed it in the engine.
When I try to add the engine to my remote, I get a NO ENGINE TO ADD or ENGINE IN REMOTE message. There is no engine in the remote (that is not assigned to a different known engine.)
I did a factory RESET 1 horn; 5 bells in CONVENTIONAL. Got 2 toots. Engine runs fine in CONVENTIONAL but I cannot get it through remote.
Remote and TIU are Version 5.0.
Any suggestions appreciated.
