Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus LS 430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check park/neutral position switch. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Jack up the vehicle.
    2. Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.

    CHECK: 

    Check continuity between each terminal shown below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

    OK:

    1. NG : Replace shift lock control unit assembly. 
    2. OK : Go to next step. 
  3. Measure voltage between each terminals of P, N, D, 4, 3, 2, L and R of ECM and body ground. 

    PREPARATION: 

    1. Connect the shift lock control unit assembly.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

    CHECK: 

    Measure voltage between each terminals P, N, D, 4,3, 2, L and R of ECM and body ground when the shift lever is shifted in the following positions.

    OK: 

    VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

    Tester connection Condition Specified condition
    P - Body ground Shift lever position: P Battery positive voltage
    R - Body ground Shift lever position: R Battery positive voltage(1)
    N - Body ground Shift lever position: N Battery positive voltage
    D - Body ground Shift lever position: D and 4 Battery positive voltage
    4 - Body ground Shift lever position: 4 Battery positive voltage
    3 - Body ground Shift lever position: 3 Battery positive voltage
    2 - Body ground Shift lever position: 2 and L Battery positive voltage
    L - Body ground Shift lever position: L Battery positive voltage
    (1) The voltage will drop slightly due to lighting up the back up light.

    HINT:

    1. NG : Repair or replace the harness or connector. 
    2. OK : Check and replace the ECM (See  HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ).
