Inspection Procedure 15

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 15: Shift Switch Assembly System

CIRCUIT OPERATION

If the select switch of the shift switch assembly is set to the sport mode, battery positive voltage will be applied to the PCM (terminal 39). If the shift switch of the shift switch assembly is set to "UP" or "DOWN" position, battery positive voltage will be applied to the PCM (terminal 32, 36).

COMMENT

When sport mode shift does not operate the cause is probably a malfunction of the transmission range switch circuit, shift switch assembly circuit or a defective PCM.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CASE:)

- Malfunction of the transmission range switch
- Malfunction of the shift switch assembly select switch
- Malfunction of the shift switch assembly shift switch (Up)
- Malfunction of the shift switch assembly shift switch (Down)
- Damaged harness or connector
- Malfunction of the PCM
