    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Shift Position Specified Condition
      1 - 3 and 4 - 9 P Below 1 Ω
      Except P 10 kΩ or higher
      1 - 2 R Below 1 Ω
      Except R 10 kΩ or higher
      1 - 8 and 4 - 9 N Below 1 Ω
      Except N 10 kΩ or higher
      1 - 7 D, S, "+" and "-" Below 1 Ω
      Except D, S, "+" and "-" 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK ECU TERMINAL VOLTAGE (STA TERMINAL) 
    1. Connect the transmission control switch connector of the shift lever assembly.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below while cranking the engine.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      B40-10 (STA) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 9 to 14 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TCM - ECM) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - TCM) 
    1. Disconnect the TCM connector.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG), and measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Shift Position Specified Condition
      B40-15 (R) - Body ground R 11 to 14 V *
      Except R Below 1 V
      B40-16 (D) - Body ground D 11 to 14 V
      Except D Below 1 V

      HINT: 

      *: The voltage will drop slightly because the back up light is turned on.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - TCM) 

    OK → REPLACE TCM
