Default Electrical function of interlock switch XT1

Hi, been getting the rider ready for spring. I found an interlock connected to dash lever ( lever holds parking brake and does "cruise control") what exactly does this switch control? Does it work with the seat interlock to allow start up when not on seat?

Parts diagram just list interlock
Model XT1-LT 46 (13APA1CT056) - Cub Cadet 46" XT1 Enduro Lawn Tractor (2015)

Thanks

Hard to say without looking at a Wiring Schematic or Diagram.

Wiring schematic as Roland says is the key. If I had to guess the whole
darn electrical probably goes through that switch to keep you from
doing things they don't want you to. safeties safeties safeties.

After seaching, I found a wiring diagrams for my model. The switch under dash connected to the brake/cruise lever is for reverse module.

After studying the layout, the interlocks ( seat,PTO, reverse, and brake) have dual functions. First is to prevent starting when not seated, PTO engaged and brake not depressed. But will take magneto to ground if running and either going in reverse with PTO engaged, getting off seat. I would assume the reason for reverse module to allow limited over ride of reverse interlock.
(To be able to mow in reverse, 2 interlocks engaged)

The wiring layout would theoretically allow all the interlocks unplugged, and run a jumper to starter solenoid with key switch on, should start. And key off will ground magneto (engine off)

Seems they had to cover a lot of safety issues. It makes it easier to diagnose an issue, such as no crank, jump 12v to solenoid, crank no start, 12v to key switch pin 3.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
