Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Testing and Inspection

Back-up Light Switch Test
1. Disconnect the back-up light switch connector.





2. Check for continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals of the back-up light switch 2P connector. There should be continuity when the shift lever is in reverse.
3. If necessary, replace the back-up light switch. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08718-0001 or 08718-0002) to the switch threads, and install the switch on the transmission housing.

NOTE: Do not install the components if too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket (for P/N 08718-0002, no more than 4 minutes, for all others, no more than 5 minutes). Instead, remove the old residue, and reapply the liquid gasket.
