Electric Control System Tests
Tools Needed
Digital Multimeter 1
NOTE : Refer to Schematic.
Checks on the transmission directional control
electrical circuit can be done with a Digital Multimeter.
All voltage checks are made at the wiring harness
connectors with the ignition switch ON, DO NOT start
the engine. All continuity checks are done with the
ignition switch OFF.
A beginning check of the direction control system
should be performed before testing the individual
components and wiring
harness. When the direction solenoids are energized
they become magnetized. By holding a metal
screwdriver next to the solenoids it can be
determined whether they are energized or not.
Turn the ignition switch ON, DO NOT start the engine.
Release the parking brake. Place the
direction control switch in forward and check the
forward solenoid for magnetism. Do the same for the
reverse direction.
z If the solenoids didn’t energize begin testing the
control system with step 1.
z If the solenoids did energize, go to step 10.
Power To Directional Control Switch Check
1. Put the directional control lever in neutral. Remove
the cover from the front side of the steering
support assembly.
2. Disconnect harness connector (2) from directional
control switch connector(1).
Directional Control Switch Connector
(1) Directional Control Switch Connector.
(2) Harness Connector.
3. Engage the parking brake and turn the ignition
switch ON, DO NOT start the engine. Put the
multimeter on the 20 volt range.
Power To Directional Control Switch Check
(2) Harness Connector.
4. Put the (-) probe on a good ground. Put the (+)
probe on socket 1 of harness connector (2).
a. If the indication is battery volts, do Step 5.
b. If the indication is 0 volts, check the
Forward/Reverse fuse (No.3) located in the fuse
box and check the connecting wires for continuity.
