Check for the contact with terminals.
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 7.
- NO: Repair the defective connector.
- STEP 7. Check the wiring harness between C-210 paddle shift switch connector terminal No. 1 and C-49 shift lever assembly connector terminal No. 11, and between C-210 paddle shift switch connector terminal No. 3 and C-49 shift lever assembly connector terminal No. 10.
Check the output line for short or open circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?
- YES: Go to Step 8.
- NO: Repair the wiring harness.
- STEP 8. Retest the system
Q: Does a malfunction take place again?
- YES: Go to Step 9.
