Park Pin Switch Test
- Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
- Check the Park Pin Switch signal with the HDS in the A/T Data List while the shift lever is in P, and when the shift lever is moved to any position other than P.NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
- Check that the park pin switch signal is OFF while the shift lever is in P, and signal is ON when the shift lever is moved out of P.
- If the park pin switch signal is OK, test is complete, disconnect the HDS. If the signal is incorrect, go to step 5, and test the switch signal at the park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light connector.
- Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see DASHBOARD CENTER LOWER COVER DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY ).
- Remove the steering column covers (see STEERING COLUMN REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
- Disconnect the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector.
- Shift the shift lever to P, then check for continuity between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. here should be no continuity.
- Shift the shift lever out of P, and check for continuity between terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be continuity.
- If the park pin switch tests OK, check for an open or short in the park pin switch wires.
If the park pin switch does not perform as specified, do the shift lock troubleshooting (see SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ). If the circuit is OK, replace the park pin switch (see PARK PIN SWITCH REPLACEMENT ).
- Install the shift lever assembly (see SHIFT LEVER INSTALLATION ).
