Abstract

A control test device (200) for testing a dual starter system (100) has a first and a second starter (102a, 102b). Each starter (102a, 102b) has a starter electrical interface (106, 106a, 106b) including a starter start signal interface and a starter status signal interface. The control test device (200) includes a first and a second communication interface (220, 220a, 220b) for communicating a test signal (222) to the first and second starter (102a, 102b) respectively. Each communication interface (220, 220a, 220b) includes an electrical interface for interfacing with the first and second starter electrical interface (106, 106a, 106b). The test signal (222) includes a start signal and a status signal (350, 350a, 350b, 360, 360a, 360b, 505). The start signal interfaces with one of the first and second starters (102a, 102b) start signal interface. The status signal (350, 350a, 350b, 360, 360a, 360b, 505) sends a simulated status of the other one of the first and second starters (102a, 102b) to the one of the first and second starters start interface (106, 106a, 106b). A switch mechanism (230) commands the start signal to one of the first and second starters (102a, 102b).
