D3 Switch Circuit Troubleshooting
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Shift to the D position and select D3 driving mode by pressing the D3 switch, and watch the D3 indicator.
Does the D3 indicator come on?
YES - The system is OK at this time.
NO - Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Check the multiplex control system DTCs.
Are any DTCs indicated?
YES - Troubleshoot the DTC, then recheck.
NO - Go to step 5.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector.





7. Check for continuity between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector terminal No. 5 and No. 6.
