Ignition Switch Continuity Test

Ignition Switch Continuity Test






Disconnect the multiple connector from the ignition switch. Test the ignition switch continuity as described in the following illustration. Connect a self-powered test lamp or ohmmeter between the blade terminals indicated on the chart in the illustration. No continuity between any blade and the ground terminal should exist in any ignition switch position except the proof and ground pins (P-1, P-2 and GND) in the START position only.

For an "engine won't crank" condition, determine if the condition exists with the shift control selector lever and housing 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, a more probable cause is the park/neutral position switch (PNP switch) located on the transaxle.
