Without the lever depressed, the reading should be no continuity. Depress the lever, and the reading
should be continuity. If either reading is incorrect, replace the limit switch (Figure 12-35).
Test Procedure 17 - Key Switch (Engine Kill Circuit):
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Remove the center dash assembly (See Removing the Key Switch, Page 12-39).
3. Check that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as neces-
sary.
4. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the (M+) terminal of the key switch and the black (-) probe
on the (M-) terminal. With the key switch turned OFF, the reading should be continuity. With the key
switch turned ON, the reading should be no continuity. If the either reading is incorrect, replace the key
switch (Figure 12-36, Page 12-26).
Test Procedure 18 - Reverse Buzzer Limit Switch:
This limit switch is located on the forward and reverse assembly; red/white and orange wires are connected
to it.
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. If the buzzer does not function and the engine also does not start, see Testing the Vehicle Battery, Page
12-7.
3. If the engine will start but the reverse buzzer does not function, move the forward and reverse lever to
reverse and listen for an audible click from the limit switch. If there is no click, check the switch for
proper alignment and switch arm movement.
4. If the switch is being activated but the buzzer does not function, place the red (+) probe of the multime-
ter on one terminal and the black(-) probe on the other terminal of the limit switch. Without the lever
depressed, the reading should be no continuity. Depress the lever and the reading should be continuity.
If either reading is incorrect, replace the limit switch (Figure 12-8, Page 12-6).
Test Procedure 19 - Reverse Buzzer:
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Remove the center dash assembly (See Removing the Reverse Buzzer, Page 12-44).
3. Check for proper wiring and tight connections. Using a multimeter, check for continuity through each
wire that connects to the reverse buzzer (See Figure 12-8, Page 12-6). If the buzzer will not function
when properly wired, replace the buzzer.
Test Procedure 20 - Oil Sending Unit:
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Check that the yellow 18 gauge on the oil sending unit is connected correctly and is tight. If it is not,
rewire or tighten as necessary (Figure 12-9, Page 12-6).
3. Disconnect the yellow wire from the oil sending unit connector terminal at the rear of the engine crank-
case on the passenger’s side. Using an alligator clip jumper wire, connect the wire to the frame. Turn
the key switch ON, closing the circuit. The oil light should illuminate. If not, check the yellow wire for
continuity. If there is no continuity, replace the wire. If the wire tests okay then check the oil light (See
Test Procedure 21). If the oil light does illuminate with the jumper wire, the oil sending unit needs to be
replaced (See Crankcase Cover Removal, Section 13, Page 13-24).
