Diagnostic Procedure (Montero)

CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool, always turn the ignition off before connecting or disconnecting scan tool.
  1. Using scan tool, monitor PNP switch. Turn ignition on. Move the gearshift lever to "P", "R", "N", "D", "3", "2", "L" and sport mode positions to confirm gearshift lever position matches scan tool display (sport mode is indicated as "D" on the scan tool). Turn ignition off. Is the PNP switch operating properly? If so, malfunction is intermittent. If not, select from the following:
    • When scan tool display disagrees at all positions, go to next step.
    • When scan tool display disagrees at "P" position, go to step  6 .
    • When scan tool display disagrees at "R" position, go to step  14 .
    • When scan tool display disagrees at "N" position go to step  21 .
    • When scan tool display disagrees at "D" position, go to step  28 .
    • When scan tool display disagrees at "3" position, go to step  36 .
    • When scan tool display disagrees at "2" position, go to step  42 .
