TEST PROCEDURE 22 – LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
2. Remove the instrument panel assembly. See Key Switch Removal, Section 12, Page 12-13.
3. Ensure that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary
(Figure 11-5, Page 11-10) .
4. Disconnect the yellow wire (to the oil level sensor) from the terminal on the low oil warning light. Using
an alligator clip jumper wire, connect the low oil warning light terminal to the vehicle frame. Connect the
red (+) battery cable to the positive (+) battery post, then attach the black (–) cable to the negative (–)
battery post.
5. Turn the key switch ON. The low oil warning light should illuminate. If it does not, check continuity
between the yellow/white wire connection on the low oil warning light and the blue wire connection at the
key switch. If there is no continuity in the wire, correct the problem. Then test the key switch.
See Test
Procedure 4 – Key Switch (Starter Circuit) on page 11-17 . If the yellow/white wire and the key switch
test okay, then replace the low oil warning light.
TEST PROCEDURE 23 – NEUTRAL LOCKOUT CAM
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. Check to be sure the lobes on the cam are pressing the neutral lockout limit switch lever as the Forward/
Reverse handle is being shifted. The limit switch should make an audible click as it is pressed. If it does
not, check for wear on the cam lobes. Be sure the cam has snapped fully back into place. If the cam lobes
still do not activate the limit switch, replace the cam.
TEST PROCEDURE 24 – BATTERY TEST (UNDER LOAD)
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected while performing this test procedure.
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the MAINTENANCE position, put the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Set a multimeter to 20 volts DC and place the red (+) probe on the F2 (white wire) terminal on the starter/
generator. Place the black (–) probe on the negative (–) battery post.
3. Place battery under load.
3.1. Turn the key switch to the ON position, leave the Forward/Reverse shifter in the NEUTRAL position
and press the accelerator pedal (with the accelerator pedal pressed, the battery is under load).
4. If the voltage reading is over 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the starter/
generator. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The voltage reading listed is for electrolyte at 70 °F (21 °C). At lower electrolyte temperatures the
voltage reading will be lower.
5. If the reading is below 9.6 volts, with an electrolyte temperature of 70 °F (21 °C), check the battery. See
Test Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11-12.
6. If the reading is zero, there may be no continuity across the large posts of the solenoid. See Test Pro-
cedure 6 – Solenoid on page 11-18.
7. If all of the test results are good and the voltage reading is zero, there may be a broken or damaged 6-
gauge white wire from the solenoid to the starter/generator. See Test Procedure 8 – Starter/Generator
(Starter Function) on page 11-20.
