Will not ventilate when switching from bag to vent mode.

Hello all, I have a 7100 that will not ventilate when switching from bag to vent mode. I have checked the microswitch on the lever and the GUI does show indicate which mode its in. I can here the vent engine actuating but I get no movement from the bellows and no movement of air across the flow sensors, thus I get no waveform on the GUI. I have done all leak tests in service mode and in normal operation mode, with no leaks. I have done all calibrations and diagnostic checks in service mode with no problems. The s/w is 1.3. Any help insight would be much appreciated. Thank you

HI Troubleshooter,

Thank you, I did confirm drive gas is set to O2 and I have 52psi at the wall. Also have confirmed pneumatic connections with no leaks present and have torn the breathing assembly apart a few times just to make sure there were no leaks there as well.

I don't know if your machine has an aux CGO port, but if it does make sure it's closed.

Remove the drive gas check valve it gets stuck some times. Reseat it. Did you do a 2 yr pm kit replacement recently?
