CLUTCH SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC CHART

ECU Connectors:





CHECK ECU AND CLUTCH SWITCH VOLTAGE AND RESISTANCE

1. With ignition switch "ON," measure voltage between ECU connector terminal and ground as follows:

Connector & terminal: Voltage:
(F120)5-Ground Below 1V (clutch released)
(F120)5-Ground Above 8V (clutch depressed)

2. Turn ignition "OFF" and disconnect clutch switch connector.
3. Measure resistance between clutch switch connector terminals as follows:

Connector & terminal: Resistance:
(F82)1-(F82)2 Below 1 Ohm (pedal released)
(F82)1-(F82)2 Infinite (pedal depressed)

CHECK ECU HARNESS

1. With ignition "OFF," disconnect ECU connector.
2. Measure resistance between ECU and clutch switch harness connector and between ECU connector and ground:

Connector & terminal: Resistance:
(F120)5-(F82)2 Below 1 Ohm
(F119)1-(F82)1 Below 1 Ohm
(F120)10-(F82)1 Below 1 Ohm
(F120)5-Ground Infinite
(F119)1-Ground Below 10 Ohms
(F120)10-Ground Below 10 Ohms
