Manual Transmission

Backup Light Switch Test





1. Test back-up light switch by placing the shift lever in reverse and turning the ignition switch to ON.
2. If the back-up lights do not go on, check the No.1 (1OA) fuse in the under-dash fuse box and the backup light bulbs in the taillight assembly.
3. If the fuse and bulbs are OK, disconnect the connectors from the back-up light switch.
4. Check for continuity between the A and B wires with the switch installed to the transmission case. There should be continuity as the shift lever engages "R".

- If there is no continuity, replace the switch.
- If there is continuity, but the back-up lights do not go on, check for:

- Poor ground
- Hatchback: G521, G601
- Sedan : G621
- An open in the YEL or GRN/BLK wire.
