    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : REPAIR or INSTALL a new CJB. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : For a 3-door or 5-door vehicle, GO to  R6.

    For a 4-door or wagon vehicle, REPAIR the reversing lamp power supply circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.

  6. R6 CHECK THE REVERSING LAMP GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN (MANUAL) 
    • Disconnect: Reversing Lamp.
    • Measure the resistance between the LH reversing lamp C451-1, circuit 31-LG9 (BK), harness side and ground; or between the LH reversing lamp C461-1, circuit 31-LG16 (BK), harness side and ground.

  7. R7 CHECK THE PCM TRANSMISSION PIDs 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: PCM PID.
    • Monitor the PCM transmission range PID while moving the transmission shift lever through all the transmission ranges.
    • Do the transmission ranges agree with the PIDs? 
  8. R8 CHECK CIRCUIT 15S-TA38B (GN/BU) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: CJB 270d.
