    2. Check for continuity between back-up light switch 4P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 4. There should be continuity only when the shift lever is in reverse.
    • If the test result is OK, go to step 5.
    • If the test result is not OK, go to step 3.

    3. Remove the back-up light switch (A).

    4. Check for continuity between back-up light switch 4P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 4. There should be continuity when the switch end (B) is pressed, and no continuity when the switch end is released.

    • If the test result is OK, check the reverse shift mechanism in the transmission.
    • If the test result is not OK, replace the back-up light switch.
