Component Testing; Ignition Switch - Toro Reelmaster 5500-D Service Manual

Component Testing

For accurate resistance and/or continuity checks, elec-
trically disconnect the component being tested from the
circuit (e.g. unplug the ignition switch connector before
doing a continuity check).
NOTE: For more component testing information, see
the Kubota Workshop Manual, Diesel Engine, 05 Series
at the end of Chapter 3 - Kubota Diesel Engines.

Ignition Switch

The ignition (key) switch has three positions (OFF, RUN,
and START). The terminals are marked as shown. The
circuit wiring of the ignition switch is shown in the chart.
With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), the switch
functions may be tested to determine whether continuity
exists between the various terminals for each position.
Verify continuity between switch terminals.
