P-N POS SW/CIRC

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
When the gear position is in "P" (A/T models only) or "N", park/neutral position (PNP) switch is "ON". ECM detects the position because the continuity of the line (the "ON" signal) exists.
For A/T models, the PNP switch assembly also includes a transmission range switch to detect selector lever position.




CONSULT REFERENCE VALUE IN DATA MONITOR MODE
Specification data are reference values.




ECM TERMINALS AND REFERENCE VALUE
Specification data are reference values, and are measured between each terminal and (25) (ECM ground).

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE: If "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

TESTING CONDITION: Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 9 V at idle.







With Consult
1. Turn ignition switch "ON".
