Test Procedure 6, Continued:
2. Remove the electrical component box cover.
3. Check that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
4. Set a multimeter to 200
Ω
(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
Ω
(ohms). If the
reading is not within limits, replace the solenoid.
5. Making sure the battery is disconnected, remove the 6 gauge white wire and the 16 gauge red wire
from the large post of the solenoid. Do not allow the wires to touch the frame or other components of
the vehicle (Figure 11-28, Page 11-22).
6. Set the multimeter to 200
Ω
(ohms). Connect the red (+) probe to one of the large posts of the solenoid
and connect the black (–) probe to the other large post (Figure 11-30, Page 11-24).
7. Connect the battery, positive cable first.
8. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL, and place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE
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. Depress 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 cam in the SERVICE
position, set the multimeter to volts DC (DC V) and place the red (+) probe on the large post that does
not have wires connected to it. Place the black (–) probe on the frame of the vehicle. Turn key switch to
the ON position, depress accelerator pedal, and listen for solenoid click. The meter should read full
battery voltage. If the reading is incorrect, replace the solenoid (Figure 11-31, Page 11-24).
10. Disconnect the 6 gauge black wire from the negative post of the battery before reconnecting the wires
to the solenoid.
TEST PROCEDURE 7 – NEUTRAL LOCKOUT LIMIT SWITCH
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
This switch is located on the Forward/Reverse shifter assembly. There is a black wire, a green wire, and a
white wire connected to this limit switch.
