Why won't this POS find Neutral?
There are 3 little plugs on the left lower side of the engine, just inside the plastic cover. They have the labels D/N/R indicating drive/neutral/reverse. I found that one plug (reverse) was severed. I fixed the connection, and now I have full reverse, and 1 speed forward. (Note - I have to start it in diagnostic mode: holding shift switches down when I turn on the key) If I start it with the (--) showing on the heads-up display, I at least have 1 forward and Reverse gear.
Again - why can the machine not identify Neutral? When I start the machine in the initialization sequence, and press UP,DOWN,UP, it then goes directly to (--). Whereas it should go to "N" and if you fully depress the throttle it should initialize the shift control motor. This is where I'm stuck.
I swear I've eliminated virtually all other variables.....does anyone know how the machine determines Neutral? Is it a switch? Sensor?
Thus far:
1. New angle sensor - no more code 6.
2. New shift control motor
3. New and/or used ECM X 3. That's correct, I have 3 ECM's. LOL. Anyone want to buy one?
4. New battery
5. New voltage rectifier (it was showing overvoltage by a LONG way)
6. Fixed the severed REVERSE plug found on the rear left side of the engine, close to the plugs Labelled N and D (neutral and drive respectively)
WHAT TO DO?????
