Gear Sensor/Switch: Testing and Inspection

NEUTRAL SWITCH INSPECTION [L3]

NOTE: Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Continuity Inspection

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the neutral switch.
3. Inspect for continuity between the neutral switch terminals using an ohmmeter.




- If the neutral switch is normal, but PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/ Short Inspection".
- If not as specified, replace the neutral switch.

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1. Disconnect the PCM connector.




2. Inspect the following harnesses for open or short circuit. (Continuity inspection)

Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the harness.
- Neutral switch terminal B and PCM terminal 1X
- Neutral switch terminal A and body GND

Short circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the harness.
- Neutral switch terminal B and body GND
