    My SB III R+ Starts and runs fine but in Auto start Cycle Mode the Starter stays engaged after the Engine starts.
    I have swapped the start relay and by passed the stater relay. Also replaced the Starter and still does it. Also have talked to A Thermo King repair and they are not sure what is causing it.
    Please help. Thanks

    Computer not sensing engine is started. Crank shaft sensor or logic in computer. How it does when you start engine in continuous mode?

    Then we can assume sensor is good. Main board need testing.

    I also cleaned the brushed off the Crank shaft sensor.
    Is there a way to check it? I’m going to run a couple of jumper wires to make sure they are not bad.

    Look in GAUGE menu for engine RPM is it close to be true?

    Are you referring to this as the main board?

    Yes. Is it some green on wire marked 2 connector?

    41???????? Something wrong here. Engine RPM should be 1800 - 2400 like any other diesel engine. Take it to good TK shop.
