5-10
VOLTAGE
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red meter lead to the red wire; then con-
nect the black meter lead to ground.
3. Meter must show battery voltage.

NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, trou-
bleshoot the main 30 amp fuse, the battery, or the
main wiring harness.
4. Connect the red meter lead to the red/black wire;
then with the black lead grounded, turn the ignition
switch to the ON position. The meter must show bat-
tery voltage.
5. Connect the red meter lead to the yellow/green wire;
then with the black lead grounded, turn the ignition
switch to the START position. The starter should
engage and the meter must show battery voltage.

NOTE: When the starter is engaged, battery voltage
will be approximately 10.5 DC volts.
Headlight Switch
VOLTAGE
1. Connect the red meter lead to the gray wire; then
connect the black meter lead to the black wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The
meter must show battery voltage.

NOTE: If the meter does not show battery voltage,
troubleshoot the LIGHTS fuse on the power distribu-
tion module, the ignition switch, or the main harness.
3. Connect the red meter lead to the yellow wire; then
select the high beam position on the headlight
switch. The meter must show battery voltage.
4. Connect the red meter lead to either of the two white
wires; then select the low beam position on the head-
light switch. The meter must show battery voltage.

NOTE: The battery voltage will show lower in steps
3 and 4 due to electrical loading of the headlights.
Drive Select Switch
RESISTANCE
1. Remove the switch assembly from the dash; then dis-
connect the harness from the switch.

NOTE: The switch can be removed from the dash
using a thin, flat pry bar or suitable putty knife. It is
not necessary to remove the dash to remove the
switch.
2. Using an ohmmeter, the following readings must be
observed.
PR566A
VOLTAGE

NOTE: Voltage tests must be made with the switch
and the actuator connected. The meter can be con-
nected at the actuator connector using a break-out
harness or MaxiClips.
1. Connect the black tester lead to the black wire; then
turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Select the DC Volts position on the tester and
observe the meter readings for each of the three
switch positions.

NOTE: If the meter does not show voltages accord-
ing to the chart, make sure the front drive actuator is
plugged in; then troubleshoot the switch, ignition
fuses, battery connections, or wiring harness.
Reverse Override Switch
VOLTAGE

NOTE: To perform the following tests, the ignition
switch must be in the ON position and the transmis-
sion shifted into reverse gear.
1. Connect the red meter lead to the black/blue wire and
the black meter lead to a suitable ground; then select
2WD on the drive select switch. The meter must
show approximately 1.5 DC volts.
