If the result is not as specified, replace the master switch assembly.
- Using an electrical tester, check if the diodes are functioning normally.
HINT:
- As the switch has diodes, a resistance inspection cannot be performed. Use the tester's diode check function to check the diodes.
- Connect the tester's leads as shown in the table below. If the leads are not connected correctly, the readings will not be accurate. Connect the tester's positive (+) lead to the diode's positive (+) side, and the negative (-) lead to the diode's negative (-) side.
- Set the function selector switch to diode check function mode, and check that the diodes are functioning normally.
