Seat Switch
The seat switch is normally open and closes when the
operator is o n the seat. If the traction system or PTO
switch is engaged when the operator raises out of the
seat, the engine will stop. The seat switch and its electri-
cal connector (Fig. 15) are located directly under the
seat.
The Standard Control Module (SCM) monitors the sta-
tus of the seat switch. If the ignition switch is in the ON
position and the seat is occupied, the SCM in seat input
LED should be illuminated.
Testing
1. Before disconnecting the seat switch for testing, the
switchanditscircuitwiringshouldbetestedasaSCM
input (see Standard Control Module in this section).
2. If the SCM verifies that the seat switch and circuit wir-
ing are functioning correctly, no further switch testing is
necessary.
3. If the SCM determines that the seat switch and circuit
wiring are not functioning correctly, test seat switch as
follows:
A. Make sure ignition switch is in the O FF position.
Tilt seat assembly up to gain access to seat switch
electrical connections.
NOTE: There is a short wire harness that is used to
connect the sen at switch to the main wire harness
of the machine. This seat switch harness is between
the seat and the seat plate.
B. Disconnect machine wire harness electrical con-
nector from the seat switch harness electrical lead
under the operator seat (Fig. 15).
C. Check the continuity of the seat switch by con-
necting a multimeter (ohms setting) across t he seat
switch harness connector terminals.
D. With no pressure on the seat, there should be no
continuity between the seat switch harness termi-
nals.
E. Press directly onto the seat switch through the
seat cushion. There should be continuity between
the seat switch harness terminals as the seat cush-
ion approaches the bottom of its travel indicating that
the seat switch is functioning.
WARNING
If seat switch service is necessary, remove seat
from seat plate to access switch. To p revent injury,
DO NOT attempt to reach switch through openings
in seat plate.
F. If the continuity test is incorrect, remove seat (see
Operator Seat in Chapter 6 - Chassis). Check seat
switch and/or seat switch harness for continuity. Re-
pair or replace components as needed.
G. If the seat switch tests correctly and a circuit prob-
lem still exists, check machine wire harness (see
Electrical Schematics and Circuit Drawings in Chap-
ter 8 - Foldout Diagrams).
H. After seat switch testing is complete, connect ma-
chine wire harness connector to seat switch electri-
cal lead. Lower seat assembly. Check seat switch
operation.
