4. Turn the key switch ON, place the Forward/Reverse handle in FORWARD, and depress the accelerator
pedal. There should be NO continuity. If there is continuity, check for worn insulation on the white/black

TEST PROCEDURE 19 – REVERSE BUZZER LIMIT SWITCH
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
The reverse buzzer limit switch is located on the Forward/Reverse shifter; red/white and orange wires are
connected to it (Figure 11-7, Page 11-9).
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE position, put the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL
position, and chock the wheels.
2. Move the Forward/Reverse handle to REVERSE and listen for an audible click from the limit switch. If
there is no click, check the switch for proper alignment and switch arm movement.
3. If the switch is being activated but the buzzer does not function, place the red (+) probe of the
multimeter on one terminal and the black (–) probe on the other terminal 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. See Reverse Buzzer Limit Switch
Removal, Section 12 – Electrical Components, Page 12-19.
TEST PROCEDURE 20 – REVERSE BUZZER
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. Check for proper wiring and tight connections. Using a multimeter, individually check for continuity
through each wire that connects to the reverse buzzer (Figure 11-7, Page 11-9). If the buzzer will not
function when properly wired, replace the buzzer. See Reverse Warning Buzzer Removal, Section
12 – Electrical Components, Page 12-19.
TEST PROCEDURE 21 – OIL LEVEL SENSOR
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
