- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PNP switch harness connector. See Fig 1 . Check continuity between engine ground and PNP switch harness connector terminal No. 2 (Black wire). Continuity should exist. Also, check circuit for short to voltage. If problem is found, go to next step. If problem is not found, go to step 3 .
- Check the following:
- Check for poor connection at Gray, 10-pin connector F10 terminal No. 3 (Black wire). See Figure . Connector F10 is located on left side of engine compartment. See Figure or Figure .
- Check for open or short between PNP switch and ground.
Repair as necessary.
- Disconnect ECM harness connector. See Figure . Check continuity of Green/Orange wire between PNP switch harness connector terminal No. 1 and ECM harness connector terminal No. 44. See Figure . Also, check circuit for short to ground and short to voltage. If problem is found, go to next step. If problem is not found, go to step 5 .
- Check the following:
- Check for poor connection at Gray, 10-pin connector F10 terminal No. 2 (Green/Orange wire). See Figure . Connector F10 is located on left side of engine compartment. See Figure or Figure .
- Check for open or short between PNP switch and ECM.
Repair as necessary.
- Check continuity between PNP switch terminals No. 1 and 2. See Figure . When transmission is in Park or Neutral, continuity should exist. When transmission in not Park or Neutral, continuity should not exist. If continuity is as specified, go to next step. If continuity is not as specified, replace PNP switch.
