NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery or the main wiring har-
ness.
RESISTANCE
NOTE: Perform this test on the switch using the
following procedure.
CF274A
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
3. Connect either tester lead to pin C; then connect
the other tester lead to pin D.
4. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the LIGHTS position.
6. Connect either tester lead to pin A; then connect
the other tester lead to pin B.
7. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
8. Connect either tester lead to pin C; then connect
the other tester lead to pin D.
9. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
10. With the switch in the OFF position, connect the
red tester lead and the black tester lead to each of
the remaining pins. The meter must show an open
circuit on all pins.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot or replace the switch/
component or the connector.
Handlebar Control
Switches
The connector is the yellow one next to the steering
post. To access the connector, the steering post cover
and the right-side fender splash shield must be
removed (see Section 8).
NOTE: These tests should be made on the top
side of the connector.
RESISTANCE (HI Beam)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the gray wire.
3. With the dimmer switch in the HI position, the
meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot or replace the
switch/component, the connector, or the switch
wiring harness.
RESISTANCE (LO Beam)
1. Connect the red tester lead to the white wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the gray wire.
2. With the dimmer switch in the LO position, the
meter must show an open circuit.
NOTE: If the meter reads resistance, trouble-
shoot or replace the switch/component, the con-
nector, or the switch wiring harness.
DIODE (Starter Button)
NOTE: If voltage is not as specified, check the
condition of the battery in the meter prior to
replacing the switch. A low battery will result in a
low voltage reading during a diode test.
1. Set the meter selector to the Diode position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange/white
wire; then connect the black tester lead to the yel-
low/green wire.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show 0.5-0.7 DC volts.
4. With the starter button released, the meter must
show 0 DC volts.
5. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow/green
wire; then connect the black tester lead to the
orange/white wire.
6. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show 0 DC volts.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch/component, connector, or
switch harness.
RESISTANCE (Emergency Stop)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the orange/white wire.
3. With the switch in the OFF position, the meter
must show an open circuit.
