Engine kill switch and control assembly

A kill switch assembly for an internal combustion engine with an engine microcontroller comprising:

• a housing;
• a first terminal carried by the housing and configured for connection to a ground and a second terminal carried by the housing and configured for connection to the engine microcontroller;
• an electric kill switch carried by the housing, electrically connected to the first and second terminals, and manually operable by an operator to change the state of the electric kill switch to provide an engine stop signal to the engine microcontroller;
• and
• an electronic circuit carried by the housing, connected to the first and second terminals, and communicating with the engine microcontroller, wherein the electronic circuit comprises an electronic circuit microcontroller carried by the housing and having at least first, second, and third pins;
• the first pin connected through a resistor to the second terminal;
• and
• a data terminal carried by the housing and connected through a resistor to the second pin to receive data from the electronic circuit microcontroller which was transmitted from the engine microcontroller through the first pin to the electronic circuit microcontroller.
