Testing the TR Switch

TESTING THE TR SWITCH
Static testing procedures allow for shop testing of the transaxle in the vehicle or on the bench. Completion of these tests prove out the TR switch electronically.

CAUTION: For resistance checks, be sure that the tester select switch is set to the "MLP SENSOR TEST" position or damage to the ohmmeter may result.

Resistance/Continuity Tests
- Using a digital volt-ohmmeter and the transaxle tester, perform the pinpoint test DTC P1705.
