  3. Turn the ignition ON.
  4. Put the transaxle in reverse (R).
  5. Remove one of the backup lamps from its socket.
  6. Test the lamp socket positive terminal with a voltmeter.
Does the battery voltage available at the backup lamp socket positive terminal measure within the specified range?		 11-14 V Go to Step 3  Go to Step 2 
2 Repair the open circuit between fuse F20 and the backup lamps.
Did you complete the repair?		 - System OK -
3 Connect an ohmmeter between ground and the negative terminal at the bulb socket.
Is the resistance equal to the specified value?		 0 Ω Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4 Replace the faulty backup lamps.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - System OK -

  1. Reinstall the backup lamps.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector at the reverse switch. On automatic transaxle (A/T) vehicles, disconnect the neutral safety/backup switch.
  3. Turn the ignition ON.

Did you complete the repair?		 - System OK -
7
  1. Put the transaxle in reverse (R).
  2. Use an ohmmeter to check the continuity between reverse switch terminal 1 and terminal 2, terminals 7 and 8 on the neutral safety/backup switch, if equipped with A/T.
Does the continuity between terminals 1 and 2, or terminals 7 and 8, if equipped with A/T, equal the specified value?		 0 Ω Go to Step 9  Go to Step 8 
8 Replace the reverse switch, or the neutral safety/backup switch, if equipped with A/T.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - System OK -
9 Repair the ground circuit between the reverse switch, or the neutral safety/backup switch, if equipped with A/T, and ground G401.
Did you complete the repair?		 - System OK -
