3. Check for continuity between D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3 when pressing the D3 button.





4. There should be continuity when pressing the D3 button once, and there should be no continuity when pressing the D3 button again.
