    Turn the ignition off.

    Connect a jumper wire between the (Z902) Ground circuit and the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit in the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, monitor the Clutch Interlock status.

    NOTE: The scan tool should display the Clutch Interlock status as pressed with the jumper wire in place and not pressed with the jumper wire removed.

    Does the scan tool display the status as described above? 

    Yes 

    1. Replace the Clutch Interlock Switch in accordance with the Service Information.
    2. Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)

    No 

    1. Go to  9).

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) connector.

    Remove the ASD Relay.

    Connect a jumper wire between cavity 30 and cavity 87 of the ASD Relay Connector.

    Turn the ignition on.

    Measure the voltage of the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit in the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.

    Is there any voltage present? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
    2. Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)

    No 

    1. Go to  6).
  6. 6)  (T141) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    Fig 5: CHECKING CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT
    GC0042000Courtesy of DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORP.

    Turn the ignition off.

    Measure the resistance between ground and the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit in the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.

    Is the resistance above 1000 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  7).

    No 

    1. Repair the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit for a short to ground.
    2. Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
