STEP 4. Check the switch output voltage at PCM
connector C-61 <2.4L Engine> or C-63 <3.0L Engine> by
backprobing. ("P" position)
(1) Do not disconnect connector C-61 <2.4L Engine> or C-63

<3.0L Engine>.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position.

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

backprobing.

•

When selector lever position is "P," voltage should be
battery positive voltage.

•

When selector lever position is "R," voltage should be
0.5 volt or less.

•

When selector lever position is "N," voltage should be
0.5 volt or less.

•

When selector lever position is "D," voltage should be
0.5 volt or less.

•

When selector lever position is "3," voltage should be
0.5 volt or less. <Vehicles without sport mode>

•

When selector lever position is "2," voltage should be
0.5 volt or less. <Vehicles without sport mode>

•

When selector lever position is "L," voltage should be
0.5 volt or less. <Vehicles without sport mode>

•

When selector lever position is sport mode, voltage
should be 0.5 volt or less. <Vehicles with sport mode>

Q: Is the voltage normal?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO : Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position. Go

to Step 5. <Vehicles with sport mode> Repair it
because of the harness damage between the Park/
Neutral position switch connector B-41 terminal 3 and
PCM connector C-61 <2.4L Engine> or C-63 <3.0L
Engine> terminal 101. <Vehicles without sport mode>

STEP 5. Check harness for damage between Park/Neutral
position switch connector B-41 terminal 3 and PCM
connector C-63 terminal 101. <Vehicles with sport mode>
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair it.

STEP 6. Check connectors C-27 at intermediate connector
and C-43 at combination meter for damage. <Vehicles with
sport mode>
Q: Are the connectors in good condition?

YES : Repair it because of the harness damage between

the Park/Neutral Position Switch connector B-41
terminal 3 and combination meter connector C-43
terminal 11.

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

STEP 7. Check the switch output voltage at PCM
connector C-61 <2.4L Engine> or C-63 <3.0L Engine> by
backprobing. ("R" position)
Measure the voltage between terminal 108 and ground by
backprobing.

•

When selector lever position is "P," voltage should be 0.5
volt or less.

•

When selector lever position is "R," voltage should be
battery positive voltage.

•

When selector lever position is "N," voltage should be 0.5

Q: Is the voltage normal?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" (OFF) position. Go

to Step 8. <Vehicles with sport mode> Repair it
because of the harness damage between the Park/
Neutral position switch connector B-41 terminal 7 and
PCM connector C-61 <2.4L Engine> or C-63 <3.0L
Engine> terminal 108. <Vehicles without sport mode>
