    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. INSPECT TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH 
    1. Measure resistance between each terminal of shift lock control unit assembly when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Shift Position Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S, "+" and "-" 3 - 7 Below 1 Ω
      Except S, "+" and "-" ↑ 10 kΩ or higher
      Press continuously "+" (Up shift) 2 - 5 Below 1 Ω
      S ↑ 10 kΩ or higher
      Press continuously (Down shift) 1 - 5 Below 1 Ω
      S ↑ 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPLACE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - ECM) 
    1. Connect the transmission control switch connector of shift lock control unit assembly.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) position, and measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard voltage
