1. Disconnect the batteries and discharge the controller. See Disconnecting The Batteries on page 10-3.
2. Place chocks at the front wheels and lift the rear of the vehicle with a chain hoist or floor jack. Position
jack stands under the frame crossmember between the spring mount and side stringer, just forward of
each rear wheel.
See WARNING “Lift only one end...” in General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-2.
3. Disconnect the 16-pin connector at the speed controller.
4. Set a multimeter to 20k ohms. Insert the red (+) probe of the multimeter into pin 2 (yellow wire) of the 16-
pin connector. See following CAUTION. Insert the black (–) probe into pin 3 (purple/white wire) of the
16-pin connector (Figure 11-14, Page 11-26) .
CAUTION
• Do not fully insert probes into the 16-pin plug. Doing so can result in a poor connection.
5. With the accelerator pedal fully up (not pressed), the multimeter should read approximately 1k ohms.
6. Slowly press the accelerator pedal while monitoring the multimeter. The resistance should rise as the
pedal is pressed. When the pedal is all the way to the floor, the multimeter should indicate between 5.67k
ohms and 7.43k ohms.
7. Set a multimeter to 20k ohms. Insert the red (+) probe of the multimeter into pin 2 (yellow wire) at the 16-
pin connector. Connect the black (–) probe into pin 1 (white wire). See previous CAUTION.
8. With the accelerator pedal fully up (not pressed), the multimeter should indicate between 5.67k ohms
and 7.43k ohms.
9. Slowly press the accelerator pedal while monitoring the multimeter. The resistance should drop as the
pedal is pressed. When the pedal is all the way to the floor, the multimeter should indicate approximately
1k ohms.
10. If any other reading is observed, check the continuity of the wires in the wire harness.
