Transmission Gear Selection Switch Test
1. Remove the center console.
2. Disconnect transmission gear selection switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light connector.





3. Check for continuity between connector terminals No. 3 and No. 2.
There should be continuity when the shift lever is in the M position, and no continuity when the shift lever is in any position other than M.

There should be continuity when the shift lever is pushed toward the upshift position (+), and no continuity with the shift lever released to the neutral position.

5. Check for continuity between connector terminals No. 8 and No. 2.

There should be continuity when the shift lever is pulled toward the downshift position (-), and no continuity with the shift lever released to the neutral position.
