Accelerator Pedal Switch

The accelerator pedal switch is a four (4) terminal, two

(2) circuit switch. The switch is used to determine if the

accelerator pedal is depressed or not when starting the

engine via the accelerator pedal. The switch is attached

to the pedal mount next to the brake master cylinder

(Fig. 22).

When the accelerator pedal is pushed, the switch allows

current flow to the start/run solenoid and hour meter and

also provides an open circuit to the engine ignition sys-

tem to allow the magneto ignition to operate. With the

accelerator pedal released, the switch provides a

grounding circuit for the engine ignition system and also

prevents current flow to the start/run solenoid and hour

meter.

Testing

1. Park vehicle on a level surface, stop engine, engage

parking brake and remove key from the key switch.

Place vehicle shift lever in the NEUTRAL position.

2. Raise hood to gain access to accelerator pedal

switch (Fig. 23).

3. Unplug wire harness connector from accelerator

pedal switch. Note that wire harness connector is keyed

to fit correctly onto the pedal switch.

4. With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), the

switch functions may be tested to determine whether

continuity exists between the switch terminals for both

switch positions. Verify continuity between switch termi-

nals using the following table:

PLUNGER

POSITION

CONTINUITY

IN NO Terminals NC Terminals

OUT NC Terminals NO Terminals

5. Replace switch if testing determines that it is faulty.

6. After testing is complete, plug wire harness connec-

tor to accelerator pedal switch. Use dielectric gel to pre-

vent corrosion of connection terminals. To ensure

complete coating of switch terminals, liberally apply gel

to switch terminals and wire harness connector, plug

connector to switch, unplug connector, reapply gel to

both surfaces and reconnect harness connector to

switch. Connectors should be thoroughly packed with

gel for effective results.

7. Lower and secure hood.
