Clutch Switch: Testing and Inspection
OPERATING CHECK
1. Lock the front wheels, apply the parking brake and put the shift lever in the 5th gear.
2. After normally adjusting the clutch pedal, check the interlock switch operation as follows:
a. The engine should not start even if the ignition switch is turned to "START" position with the clutch pedal not depressed. If the engine should
start, check the interlock switch and the harness.
b. The engine should start after the clutch has been disconnected while the clutch pedal is depressed with the ignition switch turned to "START"
position.
If the engine should start before the clutch pedal is disconnected or the engine does not start even if the clutch pedal is depressed, adjust the
interlock switch.
CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Check to be sure that the interlock switch is as shown in the illustration when the clutch pedal is depressed at its full stroke [150 mm (5.9 inch)]. If
necessary, loosen the lock nut and adjust.
2. Connect an ohmmeter to the interlock switch connector, and then check for continuity when the clutch pedal is fully depressed and when it is
released outward.
