2. Check for proper wiring and tight connections.
3. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the common (COM) terminal of the limit switch. Place the
black (-) probe on the normally open (NO) terminal of the limit switch. Without the lever depressed, the
reading should be no continuity. Depress the lever, and the reading should be continuity. If either read-
ing is incorrect, replace the limit switch (Figure 12-25).
4. Check to be sure the lobes on the cam are depressing the neutral lock-out limit switch as the forward
and reverse lever is being shifted. The limit switch should make an audible click as it is depressed. If it
does not, check for wear on the cam lobes. Be sure the cam snaps fully back into place. If the cam
lobes still do not activate the limit switch, replace the cam.
Test Procedure 7 - Starter/Generator (Starter Function) (Figure 12-26, Page 12-20):
WARNING
• WHEN MAKING ELECTRICAL TESTS OR REPAIRS, ALWAYS:
- WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION.
- REMOVE THE KEY.
- PUT THE FORWARD AND REVERSE SWITCH IN NEUTRAL.
- DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AS SHOWN (FIGURE 12-1, PAGE 12-2).
• FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED.
• SEE THE SAFETY WARNINGS ON PAGE 12-1.
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Check that wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
3. Disconnect the wires from all the terminals on the starter/generator. Then place the black (-) probe of a
multimeter, set to ohms (Ω), on the starter/generator housing (scratch through the paint to ensure a
good ground). While holding the black probe against the housing, place the red (+) probe (one at a
time) on the A1, A2, F1, F2 and DF terminals respectively (Figure 12-26, Page 12-20). The readings
should be no continuity. If the readings are incorrect, the starter/generator will need to be removed
from the vehicle and disassembled by a qualified technician (See Removal of the Starter/Generator,
Page 12-27).
An incorrect reading from A1 or A2 terminal indicates three possible problems: 1) a grounded A1 or A2
terminal, 2) a grounded wire in the brush area, or 3) a grounded armature/commutator.
If the F1 or F2 reading is incorrect, it indicates a possible grounded F1 or F2 terminal or a grounded
field coil.
If the DF reading is incorrect, it indicates a possible grounded DF terminal or a grounded field coil.
4. Disconnect the ground wire from the A1 terminal and the black wire from the A2 terminal on the starter/
generator. Using a multimeter set to ohms (Ω), place the red (+) probe on the A1 terminal and the black
(-) probe on the A2 terminal. The reading should be continuity.
If the reading is incorrect, a possible open or poor contact in a brush assembly and/or open armature
windings maybe the cause. The starter/generator will need to be removed from the vehicle and disas-
sembled by a qualified technician (See Removal of the Starter/Generator, Page 12-27).
5. Disconnect the black wire from the F1 terminal and the white wire from the F2 terminal on the starter/
generator. Using a multimeter set on ohms (Ω), place the red (+) probe on the F1 terminal and the
black (-) probe on the F2 terminal. The reading should be continuity.
If the reading is incorrect, a possible open field coil or bad connections at terminals may be the cause.
The starter/generator will need to be removed from the vehicle and disassembled by a qualified techni-
cian (See Removal of the Starter/Generator, Page 12-27).
