Traction Neutral Switch - Toro Reelmaster 2000-D Service Manual

Traction Neutral Switch

The traction neutral switch is a normally open proximity
switch that closes when the traction pedal is in the neu-
tral position. The traction arm that is pinned to the trac-
tion lever acts as the sensing plate for the switch.
The Standard Control Module monitors the operation of
the traction neutral switch. If the ignition switch is in the
ON position and the traction pedal is in the neutral posi-
tion, the Module neutral input LED should be illumi-
nated.
Traction Neutral Switch Test
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake, and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector to the neutral
switch.
3. Check the continuity of the switch by connecting a
multimeter (ohms setting) across the connector termi-
nals.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, slowly
push the traction pedal in the forward and reverse direc-
tion while watching the multimeter. Continuity should be
broken in both the forward and reverse directions.
5. Allow the traction pedal to return to the neutral posi-
tion. There should be continuity across the terminals.
6. Reconnect the electrical connector to the switch.
