Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BATTERY - TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the transmission control switch connector of shift lock control unit assembly.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Voltage 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Switch Condition Tester Connection Specified Condition
      IG switch ON 3 - Body ground 10 to 14 V
      IG switch OFF ↑ Below 1 V

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
