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 MANUAL TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [G35M-R])
3. Inspect for continuity between the neutral switch terminals using an ohm meter
- If the neutral switch is okay, but PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection"
- If not as specified replace the neutral switch Specification
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Disconnect the PCM connector (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION)
2. Inspect the following harnesses for open or short circuit (Continuity check)
Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the harness
- Neutral switch terminal B (harness-side) and PCM terminal 1W (harness-side)
- Neutral switch terminal A (harness-side) and body GND
Short circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is a short circuit Repair or replace the harness
- Neutral switch terminal B (harness-side) and body GND
