1. Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System Off Switch - Test

   1. Check the switch according to the table.NOTE: 

   • When an LED is located between terminals, check if the LED illuminates by connecting power and ground to the LED.
   • Note this important operating characteristic; diode bias causes a diode to fully conduct electricity in one direction (forward), while not at all in the opposite direction (reverse).
   • Make sure the correct test lead (+or -) is placed on the terminal.
   • When checking for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting ( ) on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
