Terminal No.	Inspection conditions	Standard
4 (COM) ↔ 5 (GND)	Always	Continuity exists
7 (SSW1) ↔ 5 (GND)	Push button ignition switch released → pressed	Continuity exists
2 (SSW2) ↔ 5 (GND)	Push button ignition switch released → pressed	Continuity exists
11 (SWIL) ↔ 5 (GND)	Battery voltage applied between terminals 11 (+) ← → 4 (-)	Goes off → Red switch illumination light
12 (INDS) ↔ 5 (GND)	Battery voltage applied between terminals 12 (+) ← → 4 (-)	Turns off → Switch indicator lights in green
13 (INDW) ↔ 5 (GND)	Battery voltage applied between terminals 13 (+) ← → 4 (-)	Turns off → Switch indicator lights in orange

Replace the push button ignition switch if the inspection result is not within the standard value.
