Voltage
1. Release the wire connectors from the frame; then
disconnect the connectors.
NOTE: Perform this test on the main harness side of
the connectors.
2. Connect the black tester lead to the brown/lavender
wire; then connect the red tester lead to the laven-
der/red wire.
3. Set the tester to DC VOLTS; then turn the ignition
switch to the ON position and move the shift lever to
the R (reverse) position. The meter must show bat-
tery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter does not show battery voltage,
use the following procedure to troubleshoot.
4. Remove the black tester lead from the brown/laven-
der wire and connect to a suitable ground.
A. If the meter shows battery voltage, troubleshoot
the gear shift position switch connector or the
gear shift position switch.
B. If the meter does not show battery voltage, inspect
the LIGHTS fuse, ignition switch, or the main
wiring harness.
Ignition Timing
The ignition timing cannot be adjusted; however, verifying
ignition timing can aid in troubleshooting other compo-
nents. To verify engine timing, see Periodic Maintenance.
Tilt Sensor
SUPPLY VOLTAGE
1. Disconnect the three-wire connector from the sensor;
then select DC Voltage on the multimeter and con-
nect the red tester lead to the (C) pin and the black
tester lead to the (A) pin.
CD706A
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The
multimeter should read approximately 5 DC volts. If
correct voltage is not indicated, check the 30-amp
main and 10-amp ignition fuses, wiring harness, or
the ignition switch.
3. Remove the red tester lead and connect to the (B)
pin. The multimeter should read approximately 0.5
DC volts. If the specified voltage is not indicated,
check wire connections at the ECU or substitute
another ECU to verify the test.
CD706B
OUTPUT VOLTAGE
NOTE: Needle adapters or a “break-out” harness
will be required on the multimeter leads as the follow-
ing tests are made with the sensor connected.
! WARNING
Incorrect installation of the tilt sensor could cause sud-
den loss of engine power which could result in loss of
vehicle control resulting in injury or death.
CAUTION
Do not drop the tilt sensor as shock can damage the
internal mechanism.
