Transaxle Range Switch Continuity Check

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE CONTROL SYSTEM





CHECKING CONTINUITY OF THE TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH

CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. Move the shift lever to position "N".





2. Release the adjusting nut at the connection between the transaxle control cable and the manual control lever and separate them.
3. Move the manual control lever to position "N".





4. Insert ±0.197 inch (±5 mm) pin into holes ±0.197 inch (±5 mm) transaxle range switch and the manual control lever. Adjust the transaxle range switch and manual control lever at position "N" correctly.

CAUTION: If you do not insert: 0.197 inch (±5 mm) pin, position "N" may move when tightening the adjusting nut.

CONTROL CABLE CHECKING
1. Press the brake pedal and engage the parking brake completely.
2. Move the shift lever at position "R".
3. Turn the engine start switch to position "ST".
4. Move the shift lever to position "P".
If starter motor operates when it clicks, control cable is adjusted correctly.
5. With the same manner, move the shift lever to position "N". If the starter motor operates, it is correct.
6. If the starter motor operates at positions "P" and "N" as described above and does not operate at any other position, then the control cable is adjusted properly.

O/D SWITCH
OPERATION INSPECTION
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Verify that the O/D indicator light is not illuminated.
Depress O/D switch and verify that the O/D indicator light illuminates.
3. If O/D indicator light does not operate, continue with inspection of voltage test.

VOLTAGE INSPECTION
1. Remove center panel.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.





3. Measure voltage at O/D switch connector.
4. If not as specified, check for continuity at O/D switch.
5. Install center panel.

CONTINUITY INSPECTION
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect O/D switch connector.





3. Check a continuity on 6 terminal and 7 terminal.
4. Replace selector lever knob if not as specified.
5. Check wiring harness for continuity if switch is operating correctly (from O/D switch to ECM, and from O/D switch to ground).
