Speed Switch (Pot Box) Testing
Test
Passed
Failed
Disconnect white and black lead wires
from wire harness to speed switch un-
der front body. Switch volt/ohm meter
to ohms scale, capable of measuring
0-100 ohms. Connect volts/ohm meter
leads to white and black wires from
speed switch.
Do not depress accel-
erator. Leave key in OFF position.
Leave ohm meter leads connected to
white and black leads (speed switch).
Switch ohm meter to a scale capable
of measuring up to 6,000 ohms (K
ohms). Slowly depress accelerator
and monitor change.
0-50 ohms resistance = Good
Ohms of resistance should
rise gradually to a maximum of
4,500 - 5,000 ohms.
Greater than 50 ohms, refer to Pot Switch adjustment. If
adjustment does not correct, replace pot switch or speed
switch assembly.
If rise in resistance is erratic or skips as pedal is de-
pressed, replace speed switch (pot box) assembly.
If maximum resistance is less than or greater than 4,500-
5,500 ohms, adjust pot switch to correct.
