Inspection
1.

Check the condition of connector.

(1)

Inspect connector thoroughly for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deformation, or damage.

(2)

Turn ignition key "ON" and engine "OFF" and measure the voltage between the power supplied to inhibitor switch circuit and ground.

Specification : Approx. 12 V

2.

Check the inhibitor switch circuit signal.

(1)

Turn Ignition "ON", & engine "OFF".

(2)

Measure the voltages between each signal terminal and chassis ground in each range (P, R, N, D).
