STEP 8. Check the switch output voltage at PCM
connector C-42 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect connector C-42.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Move the selector lever to "P" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 101 and ground by

backprobing.

•

Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the voltage normal?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check connector C-42 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Repair it because of the harness open circuit or short

circuit to ground between Park/Neutral position switch
connector B-39 terminal 3 and PCM connector C-42
terminal 101.

NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

.

STEP 10. Check connector C-42 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

STEP 13. Check the switch output voltage at PCM
connector C-42 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect connector C-42.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.
(3) Move the selector lever to "R" position.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 108 and ground by

backprobing.

•

Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position.
