      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      7 (T) - 1 (E) Always 10 +/- 2 kΩ
      3 (RV) - 1 (E) Knob turned fully upward 10 +/- 2 kΩ
      3 (RV) - 1 (E) Knob turned fully downward Below 50 Ω
      3 (RV) - 1 (E) Knob turned from fully upward to fully downward 10 +/- 2 kΩ → Below 50 Ω

      If the result is not as specified, replace the rheostat.

    2. Inspect the TAIL cancel switch.

      HINT:

      The TAIL cancel switch is built into the light control rheostat.

      1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      7 (T) - 5 (TC) Knob turned fully upward (TAIL cancel condition) 10 kΩ or higher
      7 (T) - 5 (TC) Knob not turned fully upward Below 1 Ω

      If the result is not as specified, replace the rheostat.
