Continuity Test

^ Disconnect the ignition switch Connector C236. Test the ignition switch continuity as described in the illustration.
^ Connect a self-powered test lamp or ohmmeter between the blade terminals indicated on the chart in the illustration. There should be no continuity between any blade terminal and the ground terminal in any key position except the proof pins (P-1 and P-23) in the START position only.
^ For an "engine will not crank" condition, determine if the condition exists with the gearshift lever in both the PARK and NEUTRAL positions before performing the ignition switch continuity test. If the "no-crank" condition occurs in one shift lever position but not the other, the transmission range (TR) sensor located on the transaxle may be causing the concern. See Transmission and Drivetrain for TR sensor diagnosis and testing.
