My new Legacy Santa Fe Northern is a bit of a rebel – it doesn’t accept commands readily. Eventually, it comes around and does as instructed, but not right away.
It starts fine, and runs nicely. But it will not smoke for two or three minutes even though I press start for a couple of seconds and get the start talk. Also, if I command it to reverse direction, it will not do so right away even though the symbols (either << or >> ) are displayed on the remote. It may take two or three tries before it reverses, whether forward to reverse or reverse to forward.
Initially, it would not smoke at all, and then it started to smoke (super high setting!) and wouldn’t shut off. So I reset the engine and reloaded the module, and it worked much better, but still doesn’t respond to some commands immediately, as my other Legacy engines do.
Any suggestions on what to do, or what other commands to test to further narrow down the problem?
Thx!
