      B29-73 (P) - Body ground P 11 to 14 V
      Except P Below 1 V
      B29-54 (N) - Body ground N 11 to 14 V
      Except N Below 1 V
      B29-53 (R) - Body ground R 11 to 14 V*
      Except R Below 1 V
      B29-56 (D) - Body ground D and 3 11 to 14 V
      Except D and 3 Below 1 V
      B29-55 (2) - Body ground 2 11 to 14 V
      Except 2 Below 1 V
      B29-74 (L) - Body ground L 11 to 14 V
      Except L Below 1 V

      HINT: 

      * : The voltage will drop slightly due to lighting up of the back up light.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH) 
    1. Disconnect the transmission control switch connector of shift lock control unit assembly.
