Key Switch Test
Refer to Wiring Diagrams at back of manual.
Use an ohmmeter or a continuity light to test key
switch operation. Replace switch if results are
incorrect with any of the following tests.
IMPORTANT:
Disconnect battery and key switch
wiring before proceeding with the following tests.
Stop/Ground Terminals (M) – Connect meter
between the two “M” terminals. Meter must indi-
cate NO continuity at START or ON.
Turn key switch OFF. Meter must indicate continu-
ity.
Accessory Terminal (A) – Make sure the key
switch is OFF. Connect the ohmmeter or continu-
ity light between terminals “B” (battery) and “A”
(accessory) of key switch. Meter must indicate NO
continuity.
Turn switch ON. Meter must indicate continuity.
Turn key switch to START. Meter must continue to
indicate continuity.
Starter Terminal (S) – Hold key switch at START.
Connect meter between terminal “B” and terminal
“S.” Meter should indicate continuity.
IMPORTANT:
The choke function or terminal “C”
of the key switch is NOT used.
Neutral Start Circuit Test
Use an ohmmeter or continuity light to test the
continuity of the circuit while positioning the
remote control in NEUTRAL, FORWARD, and
REVERSE.
IMPORTANT:
Turn propeller shaft or disconnect
shift cable to allow proper remote control shift ac-
tion while outboard is not running. Disconnect the
instrument harness connector from the key switch
harness connector.
Make sure the remote control handle is in NEU-
TRAL. Connect meter between terminal 5
(red/purple wire) and terminal 2 (yellow/red wire).
Turn the key switch to START. Meter must indicate
continuity.
Move the remote control handle to FORWARD
and turn the key switch to START. Meter must
NOT indicate continuity.
Move the remote control handle to REVERSE and
turn the key switch to START. Meter must NOT
indicate continuity.
IMPORTANT:
Reconnect shift cable and instru-
ment harness connector to key switch harness
connector.
Neutral Start Switch Test
Use an ohmmeter or a continuity light to test neu-
tral start switch operation.
