2. Interlock module
The interlock module prevents the engine from starting unless the traction
control is disengaged.
The interlock module controls grounding of the engine ignition system. When the
engine starter rope is pulled, the engine magneto will begin to create current.
The interlock module uses that current through the traction switch to determine
the state of the switch. If switch state is correct, the interlock module opens the
magneto to ground circuit so the engine can start and run. Once running, the
interlock module allows the engine to continue to operate.
If the engine will not start, perform the following tests to determine if the interlock
module is at fault.
1. Check operation of the engine ignition system; refer to
Operation (page 6–5).
2. Check the operation of traction switch. Adjust or replace switch if necessary.
3. Check wire harness for damage (see Wiring Schematic and Wire Harness
Drawings in this chapter). Repair or replace any damaged wire harness
components.
4. If the engine ignition system, traction switch and wire harness all prove to be
operating correctly and engine does not start, replace interlock module.
