Side stand sensor
Function
it tells the side stand position to the control unit
Operation / Operating principle
If the gear is engaged and the side stand is unfol-
ded, and therefore the circuit is open, the control
unit does not enable vehicle start-up or shuts off
the engine if it is rotating
Level in electrical circuit diagram:
Start-up enabling switches
Location:
•
on the vehicle: on the stand
•
connector: behind the starter motor
Pin out:
1. ground (pink/black cable)
2. 12V Voltage (brown/green cable)
Electrical specifications:
•
Side Stand Up: closed circuit (continu-
ity)
•
Side Stand Down: open circuit (infinite
resistance)
CAUTION
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY TROUBLESHOOTING,
CAREFULLY READ THE GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
CONCEPTS FOR ELECTRICAL DEVICES AT THE BEGIN-
NING OF THE CHECK AND CONTROL SECTION IN THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHAPTER.
DIAGNOSTICS INSTRUMENT: STATUSES
Side stand sensor: up/down
•
indication on the diagnostics instrument always down: check the connector: if not OK, re-
store; if it is OK, disconnect the two terminals from the sensor and check continuity to ground
of PIN 1: if there is no continuity, restore the cable harness; if there is, replace the sensor
•
indication on the diagnostics instrument always up: disconnect the terminals from the sensor
and check if there is continuity between the two PINS, with stand down: if there is continuity,
replace the sensor; if the circuit is open, it means that the brown/green cable from sensor
PIN 2 to VEHICLE connector PIN 70 is short circuit to ground: restore the cable harness
