The leads must fit tightly in the connector without expanding the pins in the connector otherwise the connector will be damaged.
If INSITE™ electronic service tool is available, monitor the switch for proper operation. If not, follow the following procedure.
Disconnect the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) harness connector from the electronic control module (ECM). Set the multimeter to measure resistance. Insert a test lead into the accelerator governor switch input pin of the OEM harness connector, and attach the alligator clip to a multimeter probe. Touch the other multimeter probe to engine block ground.
Transition the switch from one position to the other and measure the resistance at both positions. The multimeter must show a value of 100k ohms or more (open circuit) while the switch is in one position, and a value of 10 ohms or less (closed circuit) in the other position.
If the switch does not transition from an open to a closed circuit when flipped from one position to the other, there is an open circuit in the input wire. If the specification is correct, the circuit must still be checked for a short circuit to ground, a short circuit from pin-to-pin, and a short circuit to an external voltage source.
