Switches
SMCS - 1435; 7332

Switches provide information to the Electronic Control Module (ECM). Switches are two state
devices. The two states are listed below.

Closed - The switch connects a circuit to the ECM input.

Open - The switch opens a circuit to the ECM input.

Switch (Seat)
Illustration 1 g00777378

Switch (seat)

Illustration 2 g00777422

Location of the seat switch

The switch is located within the operator seat. The connector for the switch is located beneath the
seat.

The switch tells the interlock ECM that the operator is in the seat. The switch is a momentary,
normally open switch. When the seat is occupied the switch is closed.
The seat switch is in series with the armrest switch. When the switches are activated, a ground will be
placed on pin 58 of the ECM. If the armrest switch is down, and the seat becomes unoccupied, the
ECM will wait for 5 seconds before any action is taken.

The interlock ECM monitors the status of the switch. If incorrect inputs are encountered, the ECM
will flash the armrest indicator.

Note: If the machine is equipped with auxiliary hydraulics, the switch is also seen by the auxiliary
hydraulic ECM.

Switch (Armrest)

Illustration 3 g00532778

Switch (armrest)
Illustration 4 g01032480

Location of the armrest switch

The switch is located on the right side of the armrest at the pivot point.

The switch tells the interlock ECM the position of the armrest. The switch is a proximity switch with
contacts that are normally open and normally closed. When the armrest is lowered, the normally
closed contacts open and the normally open contacts close.

The normally open contacts are in series with the seat switch. The seat switch and the armrest switch
create a circuit. When both switches are closed a grounded input is placed on pin 58 of the ECM. The
armrest switch will also place an open input on pin 47 of the ECM. When this occurs the operator is
in the seat and the armrest is lowered.

When both pins are grounded at the same time, the ECM will flash the armrest indicator, which
indicates a fault in the circuit.

Note: If the machine is equipped with auxiliary hydraulics, the switch is also seen by the auxiliary
hydraulic ECM.

Switch (Parking Brake)

Illustration 5 g00539375

Switch (parking brake)

Illustration 6 g00777435

Location of the parking brake switch

The switch is located on the left headliner to the left of the key start switch.

The switch tells the interlock ECM that the operator wants the parking brake to be applied or released.

The switch is a momentary, normally open rocker switch. When the switch is pressed the circuit
closes. This places a grounded input on pin 42 of the ECM.
If the switch is grounded for more than 30 seconds the switch is considered to be stuck in the closed
position. The ECM will then flash the parking brake indicator, which indicates a fault.

Note: If the machine is equipped with auxiliary hydraulics, the switch is also seen by the auxiliary
hydraulic ECM.

Switch (Door)

Illustration 7 g01035209
Illustration 8 g01035210

The switch is located on the bottom left of the door.

The switch tells the ECM to disable the hydraulics.

The switch is a 2 position limit switch. When the switch is not actuated, the normally closed contacts
complete the circuit to the hydraulic lockout indicator. When the switch is actuated, the normally
open contacts complete the circuit from the hydraulic lockout switch to pin 60 of the ECM.

There are no diagnostics that are associated with the switch.

Switch (Hydraulic Lockout)

Illustration 9 g00539377

Switch (hydraulic lockout) and Interlock Override

Illustration 10 g00777449

Location of the lockout switch

The switch is located on the right headliner.

The switch tells the ECM that the operator wants to disable the 3 position hydraulics.

The switch is a normally closed rocker switch. When the switch is actuated an open is placed on pin
60 of the ECM and the work tool is locked out.

There are no diagnostics that are associated with the switch.

Note: A jumper wire is used on machines without this switch. The jumper wire is a 165-0312 Wire
Assembly. This jumper wire is fastened to the harness that must be connected in order to allow both
the primary work tool and the auxiliary work tool to operate.

Note: If the machine is equipped with auxiliary hydraulics, the switch is also seen by the auxiliary
hydraulic ECM.

Switch (Key Start Switch)

Illustration 11 g00497430

Switch (key start switch)

Illustration 12 g00779591
Location of the key start switch

The switch is located in the left headliner.

The switch is a rotary key switch. The START position is a momentary position.

The switch tells the ECM that the operator wants to start the engine. The switch is a rotary switch.
When the switch is in the START position the circuit is closed. This applies a +battery voltage to pin
62 of the ECM. If the seat switch and the armrest switch are actuated, the ECM will turn on the output
for the start relay.

Note: On machines that are equipped with the machine security system (MSS), the output for the start
relay goes to the MSS. The MSS will then send an output to the start relay.
