5 - Indicators and lighting system
Checking the indicators and lighting system components
In the event of a fault, the internal connections of the device must be checked in all operating
positions. To do this, disconnect the switch connector from main wiring (Sect. P 1,
wiring on frame).
Test the switch using either an analogue or digital MULTIMETER (Sect. P 9,
to check electric systems).
Note
The same test may be done using the "DDS" tester (Sect. D 5,
Checking the left switch
Undo the screws (1) and disconnect the switch from the electric system to remove it.
Colours mentioned in the descriptions refer to the colour of wires from the switch and not to the colour
of wires of the main electric system.
HORN button
Connect the terminals of a multimeter with Black/White and Black/Yellow cables to check for electric
continuity, which must be available when HORN is pressed (see Sect. P 9, "Testers" on multimeter
operation). When HORN button is pressed, resistance value taken by the multimeter should be close to
zero and, if available, a continuity beep should be heard. When HORN is not pressed, the resistance
value should be infinite (no continuity is available as electric contacts into the button are open) and no
continuity beep should be heard. If the above does not apply, the part should be replaced.
Turn indicator switch
Connect the multimeter to Orange and Grey wires from the turn indicator switch and check for electric
continuity when operating the right turn indicator (Sect. P 9, "Testers" on multimeter operation).
Repeat the above procedure for the left turn indicator but connect the multimeter with Green and
Orange cables. Colours mentioned in the descriptions refer to the colour of wires from the switch and
not to the colour of wires of the main electric system.
