Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Testing and Inspection
Back-up Light Switch Test1. Disconnect the back-up light switch connector (A).
2. Check for continuity between the back-up light switch 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be continuity when the shift lever is only 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, then install the switch on the transmission housing.
NOTE:
^ Do not install the back-up light switch 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.
^ Allow it to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filling the transmission with manual transmission fluid (MTF).
