NOTE: Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Continuity Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the neutral switch.

Specification:

3. Inspect for continuity between the nutria switch terminals using an ohmmeter.
- If the neutral switch is normal, but PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/ Short Inspection".
- If not as specified, replace the neutral switch.

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

Specification:

1. Disconnect the PCM connector.
2. Inspect the following harnesses for open or short circuit. (Continuity inspection)

Open circuit
- It there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the harness.
- Neutral switch terminal B and PCM terminal 1x
- Neutral switch terminal A and body GND

Short circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the harness.
- Neutral switch terminal B and body GND
