Test Procedures
TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:
PEDAL-START GAS VEHICLE
TEST PROCEDURE 6 – Solenoid
See General Warning on page 1-1.
1.
Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section
2.
Remove the electrical component box cover.
3.
Ensure that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
4.
Set a multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on one of the small posts of the solenoid and place
the black (–) probe on the other small post. The reading should be 14 to16 ohms. If the reading is not within
limits, replace the solenoid.
5.
Remove the 6-gauge white wire, the 16-gauge red wire, and 16-gauge white wire from the large post of the
solenoid. Do not allow the wires to touch the frame or other components of the vehicle
6.
Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Connect the red (+) probe to one of the large posts of the solenoid and connect
the black (–) probe to the other large post
7.
Connect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles, Section 1, Page 1-3.
8.
Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout switch in the MAINTENANCE
position. Turn the key switch to the ON position. With the accelerator in the UP position, the reading on the
multimeter should be no continuity. Press the accelerator pedal and listen for the solenoid click. There should be
continuity. If either reading is incorrect, replace the solenoid.
9.
With the Forward/Reverse handle still in NEUTRAL and the neutral lockout switch in the MAINTENANCE
position, set the multimeter to 20 volts DC and place the red (+) probe on the large post that does not have wires
connected to it. Place the black (–) probe on the vehicle frame. Turn key switch to the ON position, press
accelerator pedal, and listen for solenoid click. The meter should read full battery voltage. If the reading is
incorrect, replace the solenoid
10. Disconnect the 6-gauge black wire from the negative (–) post of the battery before reconnecting the wires to
the solenoid.
