Throttle Switch

  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect throttle switch connector. On 240, 240 DL and 740 GLE, connect ohmmeter between throttle switch Yellow/White wire terminal and center terminal (ground). Ohmmeter should indicate continuity.
  2. On 740 Turbo, 740 GL, 760 Turbo, and 760 GLE, connect ohmmeter between throttle switch Orange wire terminal and center terminal (ground). Ohmmeter should indicate continuity.
  3. Depress accelerator pedal to open throttle switch. Ohmmeter should now read infinite (continuity) when throttle switch is open. If throttle switch does not function as described, replace switch.
