  3. Disconnect the electrical connector:S3 Transmission Shift Lever
  4. Test for 5, 900 to 6, 400 ohms between the test points:Signal terminal 3 & Ground circuit terminal 2
    • If not between 5, 900 and 6, 400 ohms 

      Replace the component:S2A Transmission Manual Shift Switch - Up/Down

    • Go to next step: If between 5, 900 and 6, 400 ohms 
  5. Press and hold the switch:S2A Transmission Manual Shift Switch - Up/Down - Downshift
  6. Test for 1, 900 to 2, 100 kohms between the test points:Signal terminal 3 & Ground circuit terminal 2
    • If not between 1, 900 and 2, 100 ohms 

      Replace the component:S2A Transmission Manual Shift Switch - Up/Down
