Shift postion switch

[boscoe99]

If any switches do have a resistor, think Yamaha is going to be telling anyone which is which?

[fairdeal]

some have resistors built in.

guessing that is parallel to the contacts - so the ECU can distinguish "disconnected" from "open" ?

and not all shift cut or position switchs are simply on or off. some have resistors built in.

[fairdeal]

the "neutral start switch" in the remote control is in series with the cranking "signal" -
all it does is enable/prevent the starter from running.
The ECU has no knowledge of its state.

the neutral switch at the engine is an input to the ECU
should be closed (continuity) when shift lever is in neutral
open (no continuity) when shift lever is in gear.

I think - but not certain - that the neutral switch is the inner one, with the shift cut switch the outer

per the wiring diagram,
the harness lead for the neutral switch has a black and a brown wire
the harness lead for the shift cut has a black and a blue/yellow

What is the best way to check the switch on the engine and the one in the controls?
