1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Shift to R, and check the A/T R Switch in the Data List with the HDS.

Is the A/T R Switch ON?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Check for proper transmission range switch installation, adjust the shift cable, then recheck.

3. Check the Reverse Switch in the Data List with the HDS.

Is the Reverse Switch ON?

YES - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

NO - Go to step 4.

7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
8. Measure the voltage between transmission range switch connector terminals No. 1 and No. 10.





Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 9.

NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B23 and the transmission range switch, then go to step 10.

9. Check for continuity between transmission range switch connector terminals No. 1 and No. 10 when the shift lever is in R, and when the shift lever is shifted to any position other than R.





Is there continuity when the shift lever is in R, and no continuity when the shift lever is shifted to any position other than R?

YES - Go to step 16.

NO - Replace the transmission range switch, then go to step 10.

10. Reconnect all connectors.
11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
12. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
13. Start the engine with the shift lever in P. Shift to N from P, then shift to R, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
14. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P 1717 indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM, then go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 15.

15. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P1717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the HDS indicate PASSED?

YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 14, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 13.

16. Reconnect all connectors.
17. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.
18. Start the engine with the shift lever in P. Shift to N from P, then shift to R, and wait for at least 2 seconds.
19. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P 1717 indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 18. If the PCM. was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 20.

20. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P1717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the HDS indicate PASSED?

YES - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM. was substituted, replace the original PCM. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 19, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 18. If the PCM. was substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 18.
