Figure 11-12 Battery Ground Cable Test
TEST PROCEDURE 4 – KEY SWITCH (STARTER CIRCUIT)
See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally starting..." in
General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
2. Remove the center dash assembly. See Key Switch Removal, Section 12, Page 12-13.
3. Ensure that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
4. Pedal-Start vehicles:
4.1. Insert the key and turn the key to ON. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the (2) terminal
and the black (–) probe on the (1) terminal of the key switch. The reading should be continuity. If
the reading is incorrect, replace the key switch (Figure 11-13, Page 11-20).
5. Key-Start vehicles:
5.1. Insert the key and turn the key to ON. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the (B) terminal
and the black (–) probe on the (A) terminal of the key switch. The reading should be continuity. If
the reading is incorrect, replace the key switch. See Key Switch Removal, Section 12,
Page 12-13.
5.2. With the key still in the ON position, place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the (B) terminal
and the black (–) probe on the (S) terminal of the key switch. The reading should show no continuity.
If the reading is incorrect, replace the key switch. If the reading is correct, leave the probes con-
nected and proceed to the next step.
5.3. Insert the key and hold the key in the START position. The reading should be continuity. If the read-
ing is incorrect, replace the key switch (Figure 11-14, Page 11-20). With the red (+) probe of the
multimeter on the (B) terminal and the black (–) probe on the (A) terminal of the key switch, the
reading should be continuity. If either reading is incorrect, replace the key switch. See Key Switch
Removal, Section 12, Page 12-13.
