Test Procedure 21, Continued:
4. Turn the key switch ON, closing the circuit. The oil light should illuminate. If the low oil warning light
does not illuminate, the oil level sensor needs to be replaced. See Oil Level Sensor Removal,
Section 13 – FE290 Engine, Page 13-24.
5. Fill the engine with new oil and install a new oil filter before returning the vehicle to service. See Engine
Oil, Section 10 – Periodic Maintenance, Page 10-6.
TEST PROCEDURE 22 – OIL WARNING LIGHT
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 that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as
necessary (Figure 11-8, Page 11-9).
4. Disconnect the yellow wire (to the oil level sensor) from the terminal on the oil light. Using an alligator
clip jumper wire, connect the oil light terminal to the frame of the vehicle. Connect the red (+) battery
cable to the positive (+) post of the battery, then attach the black (–) cable to the negative (–) post of
the battery.
5. Turn the key switch ON. The oil light should illuminate. If it does not, check continuity of the yellow wire
from the key switch to the oil light. If there is NO continuity in the wire, replace the wire then test the key
switch. See Test Procedure 4 – Key Switch (Starter Circuit), Page 11-23. If the yellow wire and the
key switch test okay, then replace the oil light.
TEST PROCEDURE 23 – NEUTRAL LOCKOUT CAM
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
1. Check to be sure the lobes on the cam are depressing the neutral lockout limit switch lever as the
Forward/Reverse handle is being shifted. The limit switch should make an audible click as it is
depressed. If it does not, check for wear on the cam lobes. Be sure the cam has snapped fully back into
place. If the cam lobes still do not actuate the limit switch, replace the cam.
TEST PROCEDURE 24 – BATTERY TEST (UNDER LOAD)
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
1. Place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE position, put the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL
position, and chock the wheels.
2. Set a multimeter to 20 volts DC and place the red (+) probe on the F2 (white wire) terminal on the
starter/generator. Place the black (–) probe on the negative terminal post on the battery.
3. Turn the key switch to the ON position, leave the Forward/Reverse shifter in the NEUTRAL position and
depress the accelerator pedal (with the accelerator pedal depressed, the battery is under load).
3.1. If the voltage reading is over 9.6 volts at 70 °F (21 °C) electrolyte temperature (see following
NOTE), check the starter/generator. See Starter/Generator, Page 11-2.
3.2. If the reading is below 9.6 volt at 70 °F (21 °C) electrolyte temperature (see following NOTE),
check the battery. See Test Procedure 2, Page 11-19.
• KEEP THE BATTERY CONNECTED WHILE PERFORMING TEST PROCEDURE 24.
