4. Make sure the battery is disconnected. With the key switch in the OFF position, the Forward/Reverse
handle in NEUTRAL, and the accelerator pedal in the UP position, the reading should be no continuity.
With the accelerator pedal pressed, the reading should be continuity. If readings are incorrect, replace
the switch.

TEST PROCEDURE 7 – SOLENOID
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 electrical component box cover.
3. Ensure that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
4. Set a multimeter to 200 ohms. Place the red (+) probe on one of the small posts of the solenoid and place
the black (–) probe on the other small post. The reading should be 14 to16 ohms. If the reading is not
within limits, replace the solenoid.
5. Remove the 6-gauge white wire, the 16-gauge red wire, and 16-gauge white wire from the large post of
the solenoid. Do not allow the wires to touch the frame or other components of the vehicle (Figure 11-16,
Page 11-21).
6. Set the multimeter to 200 ohms. Connect the red (+) probe to one of the large posts of the solenoid and
connect the black (–) probe to the other large post (Figure 11-17, Page 11-22).
7. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten hardware to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m).
8. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL and place the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE
(MAINTENANCE) position. Turn the key switch to the ON position. With the accelerator in the UP posi-
tion, the reading on the multimeter should be no continuity. Press the accelerator pedal and listen for the
solenoid click. There should be continuity. If either reading is incorrect, replace the solenoid.
