D3 Switch Circuit Troubleshooting

  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  2. Remove the shift lever, and disconnect the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector (see SHIFT LEVER REMOVAL  ).
  3. Check for continuity between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4 while pressing the D3 switch and when the switch is released.

    Is there continuity while pressing the D3 switch, and no continuity when the switch is released? 

    YES  -Go to step 4.

    NO  -Replace the D3 switch (see D3 SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT  ).

  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  5. Shift to D.
  6. Measure the voltage between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector terminal No. 4 and body ground.

    Is there battery voltage? 

    YES  -Repair an open in the wire between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector terminal No. 3 and ground (G401), or repair poor ground (G401).

    NO  -Go to step 7.

  7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  8. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
  9. Disconnect PCM connector A (44P).
  10. Check for continuity between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector terminal No. 4 and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Repair a short in the wire between PCM connector terminal A13 and the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector.

    NO  -Go to step 11.

  11. Check for continuity between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector terminal No. 4 and PCM connector terminal A13.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Check for loose terminal fit in the PCM connectors. If necessary, substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM  ) and recheck.

    NO  -Repair an open in the wire between PCM connector terminal A13 and the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector.
