INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT FUSE (IG1)

(a) Remove the IG1 fuse from the main body ECU.

(b) Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





(c) Reinstall the IG1 fuse.

NG -- REPLACE FUSE
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT BULB (BACK-UP LIGHT BULB)

(a) Remove the back-up light bulb.





(b) Apply battery voltage to the terminals and check that the back-up light illuminates.

OK:





(c) Reinstall the back-up light bulb.

NG -- REPLACE BULB Disassembly
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK TRANSAXLE TYPE

(a) Check the vehicle's transaxle type.

Result:





B -- INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH
A -- Continue to next step.

4. INSPECT PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH

(a) Disconnect the B35 park / neutral position switch.





(b) Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





(c) Reconnect the park / neutral position switch.

Result:





C -- REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH Removal

B -- REPLACE PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
A -- Continue to next step.

5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FUSE - PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH)

(a) Disconnect the B35 park / neutral position switch connector.





(b) Measure the voltage according value(s) in the table below.

Standard voltage:





(c) Reconnect the park / neutral position switch connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - REAR BACK-UP LIGHT)

(a) Disconnect the B35 park / neutral position switch connector.





(b) Disconnect the L13 and L16 back-up light connectors.

(c) Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





(d) Reconnect the park / neutral position switch connector.

(e) Reconnect the back-up light connectors.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (BACK-UP LIGHT - BODY GROUND)

7. INSPECT BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH

(a) Disconnect the B42 back-up light switch connector.





(b) Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





(c) Reconnect the back-up light switch connector.

NG -- REPLACE BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH Disassembly
OK -- Continue to next step.

8. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FUSE - BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH)

(a) Disconnect the B42 back-up light switch connector.





(b) Measure the voltage according value(s) in the table below.

Standard voltage:





(c) Reconnect the back-up light switch connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

9. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BACK-UP LIGHT SWITCH - BACK-UP LIGHT)

(a) Disconnect the B42 back-up light switch connector.





(b) Disconnect the L13 and L16 back-up light connectors.

(c) Measure the resistance according value(s) in the table below.

Standard resistance:





(d) Reconnect the back-up light switch connector.

(e) Reconnect the back-up light connectors.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (BACK-UP LIGHT - BODY GROUND)
