POSSIBLE CAUSE

Down switch (built-in selector lever component) or related wiring harness malfunction

NOTE:

Before following the troubleshooting steps, make sure that the Automatic Transaxle On-Board Diagnostic and Automatic Transaxle Basic Inspection are conducted. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION -- AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE .) (See BASIC INSPECTION .)
