Test Procedure 16, Continued:
3. Disconnect wires from the limit switch and test the limit switch for continuity. Place the red (+) probe of
the multimeter on the common (COM) terminal (white/black wire) of the limit switch. Place the black (–)
probe on the normally open (NO) terminal (black wire) 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 11-41, Page 11-31).
4. Reconnect wires to limit switch and check for tight connections.
TEST PROCEDURE 17 – KEY SWITCH (ENGINE KILL CIRCUIT)
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE position, put the Forward/Reverse shifter handle in the
NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels, and disconnect battery, negative cable first.
2. Remove the center dash assembly. See Key Switch Removal, Section 12 – Electrical Components,
Page 12-13.
3. Disconnect wires from the (+M) and (–M) terminals.
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 11-42, Page 11-32).
5. Reconnect wires to key switch. Make sure wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not,
rewire or tighten as necessary.
6. Reinstall dash panel in reverse order of removal.
TEST PROCEDURE 18 – ENGINE KILL WIRE
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the OPERATE position, put the Forward/Reverse shifter handle in the
NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels, and disconnect battery, negative cable first.
2. Disconnect white/black wire bullet connector located at the engine RPM limiter (Figure 11-35, Page 11-28).
3. Connect red (+) probe of multimeter to the male bullet terminal on the white/black wire and connect the
black (–) probe to the vehicle frame.
