Testing
1. Before disconnecting the seat switch for testing, the
switch and its circuit wiring should be tested as a TEC
input with the Diagnostic Display (see Diagnostic Dis-
playintheTroubleshootingsectionofthischapter).Ifthe
Diagnostic D isplay verifies that the seat switch and cir-
cuit wiring are functioning correctly, no further switch
testingisnecessary.If,however,theDisplaydetermines
thattheseatswitchandcircuitwiringarenotfunctioning
correctly, proceed with test.
2. Make sure ignition switch is OFF. Remove key from
ignition switch.
3. Disconnect seat switch connector from themachine
wire harness connector.
4. Check the continuity of the switch by connecting a
multimeter (ohms setting) across the seat switch con-
nector terminals.
5. With no pressure on the seat, there should be no
continuity between the seat switch terminals.
6. Press directly onto the seat switch through the seat
cushion.Thereshouldbecontinuity astheseatcushion
