   1. Remove the light control rheostat. Refer to REMOVAL .
   2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
      6 (TC) - 1 (E)	TAIL cancel switch off → on	10 kΩ or higher → Below 1 Ω
      5 (T) - 1 (E)	Always	10 kΩ or higher
      7 (TR) - 1 (E)	Light control rheostat fully turned right → fully turned left	10 kΩ or higher → Below 100 Ω

2. Inspect the trip switch.
   1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
      4 (A/B) - 1 (E)	TRIP switch on (Pushed)	Below 200 Ω
      	TRIP switch off (Not Pushed)	1 MΩ or higher

NG → See step   7 

OK: Go to next step
