EBS01028 CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITY Check each switch for continuity with the pocket tester. If the continuity reading is incor- rect, check the wiring connections and if nec- essary, replace the switch. CAUTION: _ Never insert the tester probes into the cou- pler terminal slots 1 . Always insert the probes from the opposite end of the cou- pler, taking care not to loosen or damage the leads. Pocket tester 90890-03112 Analog pocket tester YU-03112-C NOTE: _ Before checking for continuity, set the pocket tester to “0” and to the “ Ω Ч 1” range. When checking for continuity, switch back and forth between the switch positions a few times.
The terminal connections for switches (e.g., main switch, engine stop switch) are shown in an illustration similar to the one on the left. The switch positions a are shown in the far left column and the switch lead colors b are shown in the top row in the switch illustration. _ ” indicates a continuity of electricity between switch terminals (i.e., a closed circuit at the respective switch position). NOTE: The example illustration on the left shows that: There is continuity between red and brown/ blue when the switch is set to “ON”. 9 - 4 CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITY ELEC – + ELEC – +
