DTC Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ELECTRIC SHIFT CONTROL MODULE AND MOTOR COIL A 
    1. Ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the electric shift control module connector.
    3. Disconnect the shift actuator connector.
    4. Check the continuity electric shift control module vehicle side harness connector terminals and shift actuator vehicle side harness connector terminals.
