NS/GS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
the switch is in its normal (fully extended) position.
When the switch is depressed more than 1.25 mm
(0.050), the ohmmeter should show continuity (zero
ohms).
If ohmmeter readings do not fall within these
ranges, the switch is defective, and must be replaced.
CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION
SWITCH–MECHANICAL TEST
With the park brake set and the vehicle IN NEU-
TRAL, turn the key to the start position. The vehicle
should not crank. If the vehicle cranks, the switch is
defective (shorted out) and must be replaced. If the
vehicle does not crank proceed to the next step.
WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING THIS STEP, BE
SURE THAT THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE
IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS AND PEOPLE. VEHI-
CLE MAY MOVE WHEN PERFORMING THIS TEST.
CONDITION
ENGINE WON'T CRANK WHEN
CLUTCH PEDAL IS PRESSED TO
THE FLOOR
SERVICE DIAGNOSIS–CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Switch does not have continuity
when plunger is depressed 1.25 mm
Switch plunger is not depressed
when clutch pedal is pushed to the
floor
Problem is related to other
components in the starting circuit
With the park brake set and the vehicle IN GEAR,
turn the key to the start position and hold it there.
Slowly depress the clutch pedal and feel for any
vehicle motion when the starter is energized. If there
is no motion the switch is working properly.
If motion is felt, check to see if the switch is mak-
ing contact when the pedal is between 25 mm (1.0
in.) and 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the floor. If this condi-
tion is met, then the problem is either the clutch or
the clutch actuation system (See "Clutch Will Not
Disengage Properly"). If this condition is not met,
then the switch mounting tab on the brake bracket is
bent, and the brake bracket must be replaced.
If vehicle will not crank, even with clutch pedal
pressed to the floor, refer to "Service Diagnosis-
Clutch Pedal Position Switch" chart in this section.
Defective switch. Replace switch.
Floor mat interferes with clutch pedal
movement. Move floor mat out of the
way.
Switch mounting bracket is bent.
Replace brake bracket assembly
Check other components in the
starting circuit. Refer to Section 8A,
Battery/Starting/Charging System.
