Backup Lamp Switch: Testing and Inspection

Back-up Light Switch Test

1. Disconnect the back-up light switch 2P connector (A).






2. Check for continuity between back-up light switch 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be continuity only when the shift lever is in reverse. If the result is faulty, go to step 3.






3. Remove the back-up light switch (A). Check for continuity between back-up light switch 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be continuity when the switch end (B) is pressed, and no continuity when the switch end is released. If the result is faulty, replace the back-up light switch. If the switch is OK, check the reverse shift piece in the transmission.

4. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0012, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the threads of the back-up light switch, and install it on the transmission housing.

5. Connect the back-up light switch 2P connector.
