Directional Control Switch Check
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF and put the
multimeter on the 200 ohm range.
6. Check continuity between pins 4 and 7 of
connector (1) with the switch in neutral. forward
and then reverse positions. There should be
continuity in neutral and no continuity in forward
and reverse.
a. If the above checks are correct, do Step 7.
b. If any of the above checks are not correct, replace
the directional control switch.
Directional Control Switch Continuity Check
(1) Directional control switch connector.
7. Check continuity between pins 1 and 2 of
connector (1) in forward and then neutral position.
There should be continuity in forward and no
continuity in neutral. While the continuity is
checked in forward position, move the lever back
and forth (but stay in forward position) to see if the
resistance goes up or down. The resistance should
be constant.
a. If the above checks are correct, do step 8.
b. If the above checks are not correct, replace the
directional control switch.
8. Check continuity between pins 1 and 3 of connector
(1) in reverse and then neutral positions. There
should be continuity in reverse and no continuity in
neutral. While the continuity is checked in reverse
position, move the lever back and forth (but stay in
reverse position) to see if the resistance goes up or
down. The resistance should be constant.
a. If the above checks are correct, do Step 9.
b. If any of the above checks are not correct, replace
the directional control switch.
