   1. Remove the light control rheostat (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ] ).
   2. Measure the resistance according to 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 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

Result: 

NG

   E99-30 (ILL+) - E9-5 (T)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E99-31 (TR) - E9-7 (TR)
   E99-19 (E2) - E9-1 (E)
   E99-32 (TC) - E9-6 (TC)

Result: 

OK
