| I have a natural gas fireplace which is having problem in igniting. I have replace it with a Honeywell S8610U Universal Intermittent Pilot Module. But the fireplace will only start up and lit for about 2 sec. and then shut off and start again.
I have checked all the grounds and connection and they seems OK. I am just wondering if the ignitor/sensor is the problem. Is there a way to check the output of the senor wire to the module ? The fireplace was lit and I assume the ignitor or spark is ok. Thanks in advance for any advices. |

| < Yes, there is. You need to measaure the DC microamps flowing from the ground connection to the module. A typical read would be 10-15 microamps, but the pilot will usually prove with 3-4 microamps.

| On some of these you can run a wire from the pilot flame to the sense port and see if it works too. |
