The transmission range switch test is completed if the test results are OK. If there is no continuity between any terminals, go to step 5.
Remove the transmission range switch (see TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH REPLACEMENT ), and check the end of the selector control shaft (A).

If the measurement of the selector control shaft end is within the standard, replace the transmission range switch (see TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH REPLACEMENT ). If the measurement is out of the standard, repair the selector control shaft end, then install the transmission range switch (see TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH REPLACEMENT ), and recheck the transmission range switch continuity.
