Specifications:







4. Inspect the continuity between the clutch switch terminals using an ohmmeter.
- If not as specified, replace the clutch switch.
- If the clutch switch is okay, but PID value or PCM terminal 6 voltage are out of specification, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Remove the PCM.




2. Connect the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) to the PCM as shown.
3. Tighten the connector attaching screw.

7.9 - 10.7 N.m {80 - 110 kgf.cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in.lbf}




4. Inspect for an open or short circuit in the following wiring harnesses by probing the applicable sensor and SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) terminals with ohmmeter leads.
- If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses.
- If there is no open or short circuit, replace the clutch switch.

Open circuit
