Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This tests the ignition switch for a short circuit between the 12-volt reference supply circuit and the ACCESSORY circuit in the OFF position.
  2. 4:  This tests the wiring of the ACCESSORY circuit for a short to ground or voltage.
  3. 5:  This tests the ignition switch for a closed circuit between the ignition switch 12-volt reference supply circuit and the ACCESSORY circuit in the Run and Accessory switch positions. Care must be taken as the engine may crank during this test.
