I have the following error code:
FAULT 04-07 ELECTRICAL FAULT IN DIRECTION CONTROL VALVE 1 CIRCUIT (FAULT 31) (CURRENT)

I've had an intermittent amber ace light for awhile now and just last weekend it turned red and started beeping. I have no ACE leaks, I've flushed the system and the reservoir is full. I took the filter out last fall and cleaned it with carb cleaner although it was completely clean to begin with. I have the Nanocom code reader and have no other codes. I was planning on driving 4 hours to the lakes tomorrow (kayaks are already on top) but don't feel comfortable doing this. I did buy new direction control valves and replaced valve 1 however I did a resistance test on both new and old valve and they are the same so I'm not convinced the old valve was faulty. Any help would be appreciated and my electrical troubleshooting skills could use improvement.

I ordered a non-ace serpentine belt which I'm going to pick up tomorrow and though I could just put that on and pull the relay and/or fuse to disable the system. Can someone confirm which to pull? Fuse 12 or 14? Relay 13?

 

Any help with this would be appreciated.

r14 ace relay
thought f15 fuse, but not remembering
can you swap the plugs, to see if the problem follows?
i wish I could be helpful, I enjoy my ace.
i've done some reading on the possible problems, but fortunately have had no need to repair.

I bought a used ACE transducer for 20$ and my light went away. I knew mine was bad, though, as it was ripped out, among others things also, but I would think it would be an easy, cheap test to check out, since sensors are normally fail before other "hard" parts.

 

beside pulling the fuse you may want to install a non-ACE belt
