Brake Pedal / Parking Brake Switches
When the brake pedal switch is closed, it illuminates the
rear brake lamp and completes the START command
circuit. The brake pedal must be depressed to start the
engine.
The parking brake switch is closed when the parking brake
lever is pulled, which signals the CDI to limit engine RPM.
1. Locate the parking brake and brake pedal switches.
2. Disconnect wire harness from each switch and
connect an ohmmeter across the two switch wires.
The reading should be infinite (•).
3. Apply either the brake pedal or parking brake and
check for continuity between switch contacts.
Replace switch if there is no continuity, or if the
resistance is greater than .5 ohms when the brake is
applied with slight pressure.
