Forward/Reverse Switch - Taylor-Dunn ET-015-00 Operation, T Roubleshooting And Replacement Parts Manual

Maintenance, Service, and Repair
Controller Small Signal Input:
During this procedure, voltages will be measured at the controller terminals #1, #2, #6, and #7.
Close the seat interlock switch, turn the key switch ON, select a direction and fully depress the throttle
pedal.
> Terminal #1 should be 12 Volts (nominal).
> Terminal #2 volts should vary between 6 and 11 Volts (nominal) depending on throttle
pedal position.
> In Forward, terminal #6 should be 12 Volts (nominal).
> In Reverse, terminal #7 should be 12 Volts (nominal).
If Terminal #1 failed: Go to Forward/Reverse Switch.
If Terminal #2 failed: Go to Throttle Module.
If Terminal #6 or #7 failed: Go to Forward/Reverse Switch

Forward/Reverse Switch:

The Forward/Reverse switch assembly consists of two
micro switches and three diodes. Diodes D2 and D3
provide power to the #1 terminal on the controller. Diode
D4 is a blocking diode to isolate the reverse light circuit
from the control system.
NOTE: For these tests only, "HIGH" = 12 Volts
(nominal).
During this procedure, voltages will be measured at F/R switch Green/Black wire, White/Black wire,
cathode of D4, NO terminal of reverse switch.
Turn the key switch ON, select FORWARD direction and depress the throttle pedal.
> Green/Black wire should be HIGH.
> White/Black wire should be HIGH.
> All others should be LOW.
If Green/Black wire is LOW, go to Throttle Module.
If White/Black wire is LOW, replace the forward switch.
If any other wire or tested terminal is High, then check the reverse switch and wiring for
shorts.
Turn start switch ON, select REVERSE direction and depress the throttle pedal.
> NO terminal on reverse switch should be HIGH.
> D4 Cathode should be HIGH.
> All others should be LOW.
If NO terminal is LOW, replace the reverse switch.
If D4 cathode is LOW, replace the diode.
If any other wire or tested terminal is High, then check the forward switch and wiring for
shorts.
If all above tests are good, then check wiring from F&R switch to the control panel

These test procedures must be
performed in the order they were
written. If the test result is good,
then proceed to the next test or go
to the next section. Failure to do so
may result in incorrect test results.
