DTC P0850-11: Park/Neutral Switch Circuit Short to Ground [09/2019 - 09/2022]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH OUTPUT VOLTAGE)
HINT:
Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Neutral Position Switch Output Voltage.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display Neutral Position Switch Output Voltage - Record the Neutral Position Switch Output Voltage value.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Turn the Techstream off.
- Disconnect the neutral position switch connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Neutral Position Switch Output Voltage.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display Neutral Position Switch Output Voltage - Compare the Data List value when the connector is connected and when the connector is not connected.
Result
Result Proceed to The value of Neutral Position Switch Output Voltage changes A The value of Neutral Position Switch Output Voltage does not change B
Result:
B
See step 4
Result:
A
See step 2
- CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH)
*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Neutral Position Switch)- Disconnect the neutral position switch connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C63-1 (W1) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH. Refer to REMOVAL [01/2019 - 11/2022]
Result:
NG
See step 3
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - ECM)
- Disconnect the neutral position switch connector.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C63-1 (W1) - C76-83 (VCNP) Always Below 1 Ω Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [03/2019 - 09/2022]
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
- CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH)
*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Neutral Position Switch)- Disconnect the neutral position switch connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C63-2 (TMN) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 3.0 to 5.5 V Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [03/2019 - 09/2022]
Result:
NG
See step 5
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - ECM)
- Disconnect the neutral position switch connector.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C63-2 (TMN) or C76-106 (NPSW) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [03/2019 - 09/2022]
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
