SWITCH TESTS
NOTE: It may be easier to test the switch if the switch is
removed. See Component Location and Replacement for
switch removal procedures, earlier in this section.
1. Pull the wire harness off the back of the switch.
2. Set VOM to Ohm. With the cruise control lever in the
engaged position (plunger not depressed) probe the
switch terminals (see Figure 45). The VOM should
show continuity (zero ohm).
3. Release the cruise control lever (disengage cruise
control). Probe the switch terminals (see Figure 45).
The VOM should show no continuity (open).
4. Replace a switch that does not pass all tests.
