Schematic of the Switch to Ground

Note: The diagram above is a simplified schematic of the Machine ECM and the Switch to Ground connections. The schematic is electrically correct. However, not all of the possible harness connectors are shown. Refer to the latest revision of Electrical Schematic, UENR5407 for prefixes: L66, L77, L88, or Electrical Schematic, UENR5408 for prefixes: Z66, Z77, Z88, or Electrical Schematic, UENR5409 for prefixes: H66, H77, H88

Diagnostic Trouble Code Procedure

Note: Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that the diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure.

2. Check The Circuit For A Short A. Turn the keyswitch OFF. B. Disconnect the switch from the machine harness. C. Disconnect the J1 and J2 machine harness connections from the ECM. D. At the machine harness connector for the ECM, one at a time, measure the resistance between each of the signal contacts to every other contact used in the J1 and J2 machine harness connectors.	The resistance is greater than 5K Ω.	OK - The resistance is correct. Proceed to Test Step 3. NOT OK - The resistance check is not correct. Repair: There is a short in the signal circuits of the machine harness. Repair or replace the machine harness. Proceed to Test Step 12.
3. Check the Operation of the Switch. A. The keyswitch remains OFF. B. Reconnect all harness connectors. C. Check the operation of the switch. Refer to the table for the suspected faulty switch at the beginning of this procedure for switch operation.	The switch operates correctly.	OK - The switch is operating correctly. Proceed to Test Step 12. NOT OK - The switch is not operating correctly. The switch has failed Repair: Replace the switch. Proceed to Test Step 12.

4. Check the Harness For an Open A. Turn key start switch and disconnect switch OFF. B. Disconnect the switch from the machine harness. C. Disconnect the J1 and J2 machine harness connector. D. At the machine harness connector for the switch, place a jumper wire between the signal contact and frame ground. E. At the machine harness connect for the ECM, measure the resistance between the signal contact and frame ground.	The resistance is less than 5 Ω.	OK - The circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 5. NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5K Ω. The circuit is open. Repair: Repair or replace the machine harness. Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω indicates a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω indicates an open in the circuit. Proceed to Test Step 12.
5. Check the Harness for a Short A. The keyswitch remains OFF. B. All harness connectors remain disconnected. C. Remove the jumper wire installed in the previous step. D. At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure resistance between the signal contact and all other contacts used in the J1 and J2 harness connectors.	The resistances are greater than 5K Ω.	OK - The resistance is greater than 5K Ω. The harness circuit is correct. Proceed to Test Step 6. NOT OK- The resistance less than 5 Ω. Repair: A short exists in the harness between the signal circuit and the wire with the low resistance reading. Repair or replace the machine harness. Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω would indicate a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω would indicate an open in the circuit. Proceed to Test Step 12.
6. Check the Ground Source for the Switch. A. The keyswitch remains OFF. B. All harness connectors remain disconnected. C. At the switch, measure resistance between the ground contact and frame ground.	The resistance is less than 5 Ω.	OK - The resistance is less than 5 Ω. Proceed to Test Step 7. NOT OK - The resistance is greater than 5K Ω. Repair: The switch does not have a good ground source. Replace the harness between the switch and the ground source. Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω indicates a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω indicates an open in the circuit. Proceed to Test Step 12.
7. Check the Operation of the ECM. A. The keyswitch remains OFF. B. Reconnect all harness connections. C. Using a wire removal tool, remove the signal wire and socket from the machine harness connector to the ECM. D. Turn the keyswitch ON. E.

Repair: A short exists in the harness between the signal circuit and the wire with the low resistance reading. Repair or replace the machine harness. Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω would indicate a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω would indicate an open in the circuit. Proceed to Test Step 12.
11. Check the Operation of the Switch. A. The keyswitch remains OFF. B. Check the operation of the switch. Refer to the table for the suspected faulty switch at the beginning of this procedure for switch operation.	The switch operates correctly.	OK - The switch is operating correctly.
