8 - 2– +ELECSWITCHESEB801000SWITCHESCHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITYCheck each switch for continuity with thepocket tester. If the continuity reading isincorrect, check the wiring connections andif necessary, replace the switch.CAUTION:Never insert the tester probes into the cou-pler terminal slots 1. Always insert theprobes from the opposite end of the cou-pler, taking care not to loosen or damagethe leads.NOTE:• Before checking for continuity, set thepocket tester to “0” and to the “Ω × 1”range.• When checking for continuity, switch backand forth between the switch positions afew times.The terminal connections for switches (e.g.,main switch, engine stop switch) are shownin an illustration similar to the one on theleft.The switch positions a are shown in the farleft column and the switch lead colors bare shown in the top row in the switch illus-tration.NOTE:“ ” indicates a continuity of electric-ity between switch terminals (i.e., a closedcircuit at the respective switch position).The example illustration on the left showsthat:There is continuity between blue/red andred when the switch is set to “ ”.There is continuity between blue/red andblue, between brown/blue and red, andbetween blue/yellow and blue/black whenthe switch is set to “ON”.Pocket tester90890-03112ONR Br/L L/Y L/BOFFabBr/LL/BRL/Y8
