2. Check for continuity between back-up light switch 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be continuity only when the shift lever is in reverse.

- If the test result is OK, go to step 5.
- If the test result is not OK, go to step 3.





3. Remove the back-up light switch (A). Check for continuity between back-up light switch 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be continuity when the switch end (B) is pressed, and no continuity when the switch end is released.

- If the test result is OK, check the reverse shift mechanism in the transmission.
- If the test result is not OK, replace the back-up light switch.
