5-8
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot or replace the
switch/component, the connector, or the switch
wiring harness.
RESISTANCE (LO Beam)
1. Connect the red tester lead to the white wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the gray wire.
2. With the dimmer switch in the LO position, the
meter must show an open circuit.
NOTE: If the meter reads resistance, trouble-
shoot or replace the switch/component, the con-
nector, or the switch wiring harness.
DIODE (Starter Button)
NOTE: If voltage is not as specified, check the
condition of the battery in the meter prior to
replacing the switch. A low battery will result in a
low voltage reading during a diode test.
1. Set the meter selector to the DIODE position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange/white
wire; then connect the black tester lead to the yel-
low/green wire.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show 0.5-0.7 DC volts.
4. With the starter button released, the meter must
show 0 DC volts.
5. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow/green
wire; then connect the black tester lead to the
orange/white wire.
6. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show 0 DC volts.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch/component, connector, or
switch harness.
RESISTANCE (Emergency Stop)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the orange/white
wire.
3. With the switch in the OFF position, the meter
must show an open circuit.
4. With the switch in the RUN position, the meter
must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot or replace the
switch/component, the connector, or the switch
wiring harness.
Drive Select Switch
The connector is the three-wire white snap-lock one in
front of the steering post. To access the connector, the
cover must be removed.
NOTE: Resistance tests should be made with the
connector disconnected and on the selector-side
of the connector.
RESISTANCE
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the green/white
wire.
3. With the selector switch in the 4WD position, the
meter must show less than 1 ohm.
4. Connect the black tester lead to the black wire;
then select the 4WD LOCK position. The meter
should show less than 2 ohms.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the front drive selector switch.
VOLTAGE
NOTE: The battery must be connected when per-
forming voltage tests.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the black tester lead to black wire on the
harness side of the connector.
3. Connect the red tester lead to the white/orange
wire on the harness side of the connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
5. The meter must show approximately 8 DC volts.
NOTE: If the meter shows other than specified,
check the harness, connector, 30 amp fuse, and
battery connections.
Front Drive/Differential
Lock Actuator
NOTE: With the engine stopped and the ignition
switch in the ON position, a momentary “whirring”
sound must be noticeable each time the selector
switch is moved to 2WD and 4WD. Test the switch,
30 amp fuse, and wiring connections prior to test-
ing the actuator.
