Pinpoint Test R: The Reversing Lamps Are Inoperative
- R1 DETERMINE THE TRANSMISSION TYPE
- Check the vehicle and determine the type of transmission.
- Is the vehicle equipped with a manual transmission?
- R2 BY-PASS THE REVERSING LAMP SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Connect a fused (10A) jumper wire between the reversing lamp switch C1407-2, circuit 15-LG28 (GN/WH), harness side and the reversing lamp switch C1407-1, circuit 15S-LG3 (GN/YE), harness side.
- Key in ON position.
- Do the reversing lamps illuminate?
- Yes : INSTALL a new reversing lamp switch. REFER to REVERSING LAMP SWITCH . TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REMOVE the jumper wire. GO to R3.
- R3 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE REVERSING LAMP SWITCH
- Measure the voltage between the reversing lamp switch C1407, pin 2, circuit 15-LG28 (GN/WH), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- R4 CHECK CIRCUIT 15-LG28 (GN/WH) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: CJB C270f.
- Measure the resistance between the reversing lamp switch C1407-2, circuit 15-LG28 (GN/WH), harness side and the CJB C270f-9, circuit 15-LG28 (GN/WH), harness side.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : REPAIR OR INSTALL a new CJB. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- R5 CHECK THE REVERSING LAMP POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between the reversing lamp switch C1407-1, circuit 15-LG3 (GN/YE), harness side and ground.
- 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.
- 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.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : REPAIR the reversing lamp power supply circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the reversing lamp ground circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- 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?
- Yes : GO to R8.
- No : REFER to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION to continue diagnosis of the transmission.
- R8 CHECK CIRCUIT 15S-TA38B (GN/BU) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: CJB 270d.
- Apply the parking brake.
- Key in ON position.
- Place the transmission in REVERSE.
- Measure the voltage between the CJB C270d-14, circuit 15S-TA38B (GN/BU), harness side and ground.
- Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?
- Yes : PLACE the transmission in PARK. GO to R9.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- R9 CHECK CIRCUIT 15S-LG9 (GN/BK) FOR AN OPEN
- Key in OFF position.
- Measure the resistance between the CJB C270d-15, circuit 15S-LG9 (GN/BK), harness side and ground.
- 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 R10.
For a 5-door or wagon, REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- R10 CHECK THE REVERSING LAMP GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN (AUTOMATIC)
- 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.
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : REPAIR the reversing lamp power supply circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
- No : REPAIR the reversing lamp ground circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
