Switchover Valves

  1. Connect a multimeter to connector of switchover valves and measure voltage at 1200 RPM. Voltage should be about 12 volts. If voltage is okay, go to next test. If test is not okay, test electrical activation and replace control unit if necessary.
  2. Connect vacuum tester with "Y" fitting to switchover valve and check vacuum at 1200 RPM (switchover valve energized with 12 volts). Switchover should have about 19 in. Hg. If test is okay, test is complete. If test is not okay, test vacuum pump and replace switchover valve if necessary.
