Jandy JXI heater ... check Ign Steps and ignition lock out

[Bmiso]

Hi,

A few weeks ago i had the same error and back washed my filter and heater came back to life. A week later I got the same code so completely cleaned DE filter and now I get the error codes again. I replaced the ignitor and it is definitely glowing so I'm not sure what else to do now. My pool guy who really doesn't work on equipment said I should just change out control board but he admittedly says he has know idea of what's wrong. I have a multimeter but not manometer. Should I attempt to try and figure it out?

Oh yeah... the heater starts up, blows and then a puff of gas, no heat.

I don't get a puff of heat... just gas smell

Then it is the igniter or gas pressures.

Did you get the new igniter version?

Does anyone know what gas pressure reading I should be getting on the value?

Every heater has a label in the vicinity of the the gas valve with those exact specs

How old is the heater? Also possible that dirt, corrosion or spider webs in burners or orifices are distorting the flame pattern out of the area it needs for impingement on the ignitor.
