Hall Effect Switch Test
NOTE:
Hall Effect switches cannot be checked with an ohmmeter.
- Disconnect 3-wire connector at Hall Effect switch. Connect a 12-volt battery and voltmeter to switch terminals. See Fig 1. Carefully note polarity markings.
- Insert knife blade between magnet and Hall Effect switch. See Fig 1. Voltmeter should read within .5 volts of battery voltage. With knife blade removed voltmeter should read 0-.5 volts. If voltage readings are not as specified, replace Hall Effect switch.
