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 resis-
tance, 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, troubleshoot
or replace the switch/component, the connector, or
the switch wiring harness.
DIODE (Starter Button)
NOTE: If voltage is not as specified, check the con-
dition of the battery in the meter prior to replacing the
switch. A low battery will result in a low voltage read-
ing 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.
4. With the switch in the RUN position, the meter
must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, troubleshoot or replace the switch/component,
the connector, or the switch wiring harness.
RESISTANCE (Reverse Override)
The connector is the four-prong white one next to the
steering post. To access the connector, the front rack and
front fenders must be removed (see Section 8).
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to one red/yellow wire;
then connect the black tester wire to the other red/yel-
low wire. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
3. Depress and hold the reverse override button. The
meter must show an open circuit.
4. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then
connect the black meter lead to the black wire. The
meter must show an open circuit.
5. Depress and hold the reverse override button. The
meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch/component, connector, or switch
harness.
Drive Select Switch
The connector is the two-wire black snap-lock one in
front of the steering post. To access the connector, the
cover must be removed.
NOTE: Resistance tests should be made with the
connector disconnected and on the selector-side of
the connector.
RESISTANCE
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the white wire.
3. With the selector switch in the 2WD position, the
meter must show an open circuit.
4. With the selector switch in the 4WD position, the
meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the front drive selector switch.
VOLTAGE
NOTE: The battery must be connected when per-
forming voltage tests.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the black tester lead to the negative bat-
tery terminal.
