    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

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

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      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 the shift lock control unit assembly.
    2. Disconnect the A10 ECM connector.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG), and measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard voltage 

      TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - ECM VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Shift Position Tester Connection Specified Condition
      S, "+" and "-" A10-25 (S) - Body ground 10 to 14 V
      Except S, "+" and "-" Below 1 V

    4. Turn the engine switch off.
    5. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    6. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard resistance 

      TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - ECM RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Shift Position Tester Connection Specified Condition
      Press continuously "+" (Up shift) A10-16 (SFTU) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      S 10 kΩ or higher
      Press continuously (Down shift) A10-51 (SFTD) - Body ground Below 1 Ω
      S 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
