ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The neutral proximity switch has a sense zone
which is the magnetic portion on the switch (Fig.
097). A bolt located on the traction control lever aligns
with the sense zone in the neutral/stop position to
magnetically close the contacts in the switch.
Figure 097 MVC-0885X
The neutral proximity switch is located behind
the rear cover, under the dash, in front of the traction
control lever (Fig. 096), and can be viewed and
adjusted from under the hood.

1. Before electrically testing the switch, check the
location of the switch and bolt, to make sure they are
meeting in the sense zone on the switch. Both the
switch and the bolt are adjustable and the air gap
between them should be 1/8” to 1/4" (3.2 to 6.4mm).
2. Disconnect the switch from the wiring harness
and remove from the unit.
3. Using a multimeter (ohms setting), check the
continuity of the switch at the wire terminals. There
should be NO continuity (switch open).
4. Using the steel blade of a screw driver or similar,
touch the blade of the screw driver up against the
sense zone of the switch and check the continuity,
there should be continuity (switch closed) (Fig. 098).
