Electrical Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
| 1 - INTERLOCK/UPSTOP SWITCH CONNECTOR |
- Move ignition key to the "OFF/LOCK" position and remove key.
- Set park brake.
- Disconnect the clutch interlock/upstop switch connector (1). See Fig 1.
- Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between terminals 2 & 3 with the interlock switch not depressed (clutch pedal at rest). There should be no continuity between the terminals (open circuit).
- Fully depress the clutch pedal to close the switch. The switch button should compress at least 1.25 mm (0.050 in.) for LHD applications. The ohmmeter should show continuity (0 ohms).
- For RHD applications, disconnect the push rod from the pedal pin and actuate the push rod by hand to close the switch. The ohmmeter should show continuity (0 ohms).
- If ohmmeter readings do not fall within these ranges, the switch assembly or the pedal bracket assembly, is defective and should be replaced. If the switch tests OK, wiring is defective.
