Test Procedure 12 - Half-speed Reverse Limit Switch (F&R Limit Switch No. 3):
1. Check for proper wiring (Figure 20-6 or 20-8) and tight connections.
2. Using a continuity tester or VOM set to ohms, check continuity across common (COM) and normally
open (NO); and across common (COM) and normally closed (NC) (See Figure 20-10). With the limit
switch lever up (not depressed), readings should be:
COM to NC: Zero (or continuity tester is illuminated)
COM to NO: Infinity (or continuity tester is not illuminated)
With the limit switch lever depressed, readings should be:
COM to NC: Infinity (or continuity tester is not illuminated)
COM to NO: Zero (or continuity tester is illuminated)
3. If meter readings are not correct, replace limit switch.

Test Procedure 13 - Half-speed Reverse Resistor:
1. Disconnect the black lead from the half-speed reverse limit switch located on the Forward/Reverse
Switch (See Figure 20-2, Page 20-3, or Figure 20-3, Page 20-4).
2. Measure resistance.
Multi-step Potentiometer Vehicle:
2.1. Disconnect the 18 gauge black wire (from the Half-speed Reverse Limit Switch) at its connection
with the 18 gauge black wire from the multi-step potentiometer (See Figure 20-2, Page 20-3).
2.2. With a multimeter set to ohms, measure the resistance through the 18 gauge black wire from the
end disconnected from the half-speed reverse limit switch to the end disconnected from terminal
with the gauge18 black wire from the multi-step potentiometer. Resistance should measure
approximately 3900 ohms (±10%).
Continuously Variable Potentiometer Vehicle:
2.1. Disconnect the three-wire connector (connects the potentiometer to the Foward/Reverse wire
harness) from the Forward/Reverse wire harness. The connector emerges from under the floor-
board into the battery compartment below the charger receptacle on the front seat support panel
(Figure 20-9, Page 20-17).
2.2. With a multimeter set to ohms, measure the resistance through the 18 gauge black wire from For-
ward/Reverse wire harness (at disconnect from three-wire connector) to the end disconnected
from the Half-speed Reverse Limit Switch. Resistance should measure approximately 5100 ohms
(±10%).
3. If the meter reading is not correct, replace the wire assembly to the limit switch.
