Typical switch inputs
The connection of any electrical equipment and the disconnection of any electrical equipment may cause an explosion hazard which may result in injury or death. Do not connect any electrical equipment or disconnect any electrical equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
Test Step 1. Check the Electrical Connectors and the Wiring
Place the keyswitch in the OFF position.

Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the circuit for the suspect switch.
Check the allen head screw on each ECM connector and the customer connector. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for the correct torque value.
Check the harness and wiring for abrasions and for pinch points from the battery to the ECM. Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are completely coupled and/or inserted, and the harness and wiring are free of corrosion, of abrasion and of pinch points.Results:
OK - The wiring and connectors are OK. Proceed to Test Step 2.
Not OK - There is a problem with the wiring and/or a connector.Repair: Repair the wiring and/or the connector. Replace parts, if necessary. Ensure that all of the seals are properly connected. Verify that the repair eliminates the problem.STOPTest Step 2. Test the Switch for Proper Operation
Disconnect the P1 connector.
Refer to Table 1. Determine the P1 terminal for the suspect switch.

Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the switch circuits. Connect the meter lead to the P1 terminal for the suspect switch. Connect the other meter lead to engine ground. Note: Wiggle the harnesses during the following measurements in order to reveal any intermittent short condition.
Measure the resistance between the P1 terminal for the suspect switch and engine ground.
Activate the switch and measure the resistance again. Expected Result:One resistance measurement indicates an open circuit. The other resistance measurement is less than ten Ohms.Results:
OK - One resistance measurement indicates an open circuit. The other resistance measurement is less than ten Ohms.Repair: The switch is operating correctly. The wiring does
