Neutral Safety Switch: Testing and Inspection
NEUTRAL SWITCH INSPECTIONNOTE: Perform the following inspection only when directed.
Continuity Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the neutral switch. (See MANUAL TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
3. Inspect for continuity between the neutral switch terminals using an ohmmeter.
- If the neutral switch is okay, but PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- If not as specified. replace the neutral switch.
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Disconnect the PCM connector.
2. Inspect the following harness for open or short. (Continuity check)
Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the harness.
- Neutral switch terminal B (harness-side) and PCM terminal 1W (harness-side)
- Neutral switch terminal A (harness-side) and body GND
Short circuit
- If there is no continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the harness.
- Neutral switch terminal B (harness-side) and body GND
