PNP Switch Circuit Malfunction (MN5)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect the PNP switch for proper adjustment. Refer to Park/Neutral Position Switch Adjustment .
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the PNP switch.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected, open and close the driver door, and wait 1 minute. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Verify that the scan tool ECM PNP Switch parameter is In Gear.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 12 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 12 and the ground circuit terminal 1. Verify that the scan tool ECM PNP Switch parameter is Park/Neutral.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the PNP switch.
