Neutral Safety Switch: Testing and Inspection
NEUTRAL SWITCH INSPECTIONNOTE: Perform the following inspection only when directed.
Continuity Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the neutral switch. (See NEUTRAL SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [A65M-R].)
3. Inspect for continuity between the neutral switch terminals A and B using an ohmmeter.
- If the neutral switch is okay, but the PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- If not as specified, replace the neutral switch. (See NEUTRAL SWITCH REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [A65M-R].)
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Disconnect the PCM connector.
2. Inspect the following harness for open or short circuit. (Continuity check)
Open circuit
- Neutral switch terminal A (harness-side) and PCM terminal 64 (harness-side)
- Neutral switch terminal B (harness-side) and body GND
Short circuit
- Neutral switch terminal A (harness-side) and power supply
- Neutral switch terminal A (harness-side) and body GND
