Component Testing
For accurate resistance and/or continuity checks, dis-
connect the component being tested from its electrical
circuits (e.g. unplug the ignition switch connector before
doing a continuity check on the switch).
NOTE: For additional electrical component testing in-
formation, see the Kubota Workshop Manual for 05
Series Diesel Engines, or the Kubota Workshop and
Diagnostics Manuals for WG972 Gasoline Engines.
CAUTION
When testing electrical components for continu-
ity with a multimeter (ohms setting), make sure
that power to the circuit has been disconnected.
Ignition Switch
The ignition (key) switch has three positions (OFF, ON/
PREHEAT, and START). The terminals are marked as
shown. The circuitry of the ignition switch is shown in the
chart below. With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting),
the switch functions may be tested to determine whether
continuity exists between the various terminals for each
position. Verify continuity between switch terminals.
