Chart C-1A - Park/Neutral Switch Relay
Park/Neutral switch contacts are closed to ground in Park or Neutral and open in all other ranges. ECM supplies voltage through a resistor on Pink/Blue wire from ECM to relay. ECM senses when switch is closed and voltage decreases to less than one volt on Pink/Blue wire. ECM uses this input to control idle speed, EGR operation and vehicle speed sensor diagnostics.
If Pink/Blue wire indicates Park or Neutral (grounded) while in Drive range, EGR will not operate, resulting in possible detonation. If Pink/Blue wire indicates Drive (open), a decrease in idle speed may occur when gearshift is placed in gear.
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
- This step checks for a closed switch to ground in Park position.
- This step checks for an open switch in Drive range.
- Ensure Scan tester indicates Drive even while slightly moving gearshift. This will check for an intermittent or misadjusted switch in Drive or Overdrive range.
