DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

COMPONENT INSPECTION


Inhibitor Switch










1. Check continuity between terminals (1) and (2) and between terminals (3) and (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) while moving manual shaft through each position.




2. If NG, check again with manual control linkage disconnected from manual shaft of A/T assembly. Refer to step 1.
3. If OK on step 2, adjust manual control linkage.




4. If NG on step 2, remove inhibitor switch from A/T and check continuity of inhibitor switch terminals.
5. If OK on step 4, adjust inhibitor switch.
6. If NG on step 4, replace inhibitor switch.
