Electronic Governor Module Check

  1. Check the harness as follows: Number the harness terminals from 1 to 8, with No. 1 being nearest the locator key.
  2. With engine running, connect tachometer to terminals 1 and 2. Engine RPM should be indicated. Next, turn ignition switch "ON", and connect positive lead of voltmeter to terminal 1 and negative lead to terminal 8. Battery voltage should be indicated.
  3. Turn ignition switch "OFF". Connect one lead of ohmmeter to terminal 4 and the other lead to terminal 6. Ohmmeter should read continuity. Repeat same test between terminals 5 and 7. Continuity should again be indicated.
  4. If any of the terminals fail any of the tests, repair the wiring harness as required. If harness meets all specifications, replace the electronic governor module.
