Location
The Key Choice™ Reverse Operating System module
is located under the gas tank (Figure 194).

How it Works
The Key Choice™ Reverse Operating System is made
up of several components, such as diodes and relays.
When it is connected in the circuit, voltage is applied to
certain terminals of the Key Choice™ Reverse
Operating System module from the PTO switch,
reverse switch, and the override switch, which
energizes certain relays in the module. If voltage is not
applied to the proper terminals on the Key Choice™
Reverse Operating System module, the engine will
stop.
Testing
The Key Choice™ Reverse Operating System module
must be removed from the circuit. Using a multimeter
check the following:
* NOTE: If multimeter does not have a diode scale,
this test can not be done. This is not a problem if
powered tests are done. Powered test must be done to
check out relays (Figure 195).

Powered circuit test ( with module out of circuit). A
12 volt battery is needed for this test. NOTE: USE
CAUTION WHEN MEASURING RESISTANCE WITH
A POWERED CIRCUIT. CONTACTING A VOLTAGE
SOURCE WITH METER IN OHMS POSITION CAN
SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE METER.
** NOTE: Actual reading should be same as B+
applied to Pin 2.
