Neutral Switch Bypass Test

The symptom of a faulty neutral indicator switch / circuit
is:
• Starter motor does not operate when transmission
is in neutral with clutch lever released but does
operate with the clutch lever pulled in.
1. Turn ignition switch on and place engine stop switch
in the RUN position.
2. Shift transmission into Neutral.
3. Observe neutral indicator light.
4. If indicator is not working with transmission in neutral:
• Disconnect neutral indicator switch (B).
NOTE: When the Neutral
disconnected, the multi-function display (MFD) will
display (---) regardless of gear position (with Key
ON).
• Connect Black/Pink of harness side connector pin
to ground on engine (not switch side of connector)
with a jumper lead. This provides a path to ground
for the neutral light.
