Need Help - "check track" Engine not found"

Make sure that the engine you are trying to add, is the only PS2 or PS3 engine on any track powered by the TIU.

Reset the handheld remote - no change. updated TIU and Handheld - no change. Not sure what else to do. My other two locomotives work flawlessly. 

 Under the engine set up menu there is a feature called "recover engine"  ..Give it a try. It goes by quickly and the remote will tell you whether the engine was recovered or not.. This feature seems to do a factory reset on the engine and you 'll still have to add the engine back if recovered...

 One  question though ,does the engine stay dark & silent when the track first receives power? I hope so.

Keith - the problem engine is the only car on the track.

gregg - I just tried the recovery and handheld said no engine to recover. I reset again and tried to add and same message - no engine to add.

yes, the engine is dark. No sounds or lights. As if it's a dummy. I used my meter and I am getting a constant 19.2v on the entire layout.

guess it's time to take it to service?

No not yet, Wait  a liitle bit until you get some more feed back from some of the other dcs guys, It  does sound like your engine is completely dead  and not a case of seeing the watch dog signal.... Is it dead in conventional mode (no tiu)   In conventional there should be sound.

Right, don't give up yet. Apply track voltage to the engine without the TIU, meaning conventional operation. If it comes alive with sound, then there is more trouble shooting to do. If it is totally quiet without a DCS signal, then you probably have a defective engine.

Try charging the supercap longer before applying the remote functions.

Did this die while running? Or shutoff while you were trying to operate the lashup?  Trying to start it conventionally to see if the engine works is a good first step.  If not, I would go the warranty route.  G
