Brake Pedal / Parking Brake Switches - Polaris RZR 170 2009 Service Manual

Brake Pedal / Parking Brake Switches

The brake pedal switch when closed, illuminates the rear brake
lamp and completes the START command circuit. The brake
pedal must be depressed to start the engine.
The parking brake switch is closed when the parking brake lever
is pulled. When pulled, the switch closes, which signals the CDI
to limit engine RPM.
1. Locate the parking brake and brake pedal switches.
2. Disconnect wire harness from each switch and connect an
ohmmeter across the two switch wires.
The reading should be infinite (•).
3. Apply either the brake pedal or parking brake and check for
continuity between switch contacts. Replace switch if there
is no continuity, or if the resistance is greater than .5 ohms
when the brake is applied with slight pressure.
