D3 Switch Circuit Troubleshooting
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Disconnect the D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector (see A/T GEAR POSITION INDICATOR PANEL LIGHT HARNESS REPLACEMENT ).
- Check for continuity between D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3 when pressing the D3 button.Fig 1: Checking Continuity Between D3 Switch/Park Pin Switch/A/T Gear Position Indicator Panel Light Harness Connector Terminals 1

Is there continuity when pressing the D3 button once, and no continuity when pressing the button again?
YES -Go to step 4.
NO -Replace the D3 switch (see D3 SWITCH REPLACEMENT ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Measure the voltage between D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3.Fig 2: Measuring Voltage Between D3 Switch/Park Pin Switch/A/T Gear Position Indicator Panel Light Harness Connector Terminals 1

Is there battery voltage?
YES -Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see PCM UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ) and recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM (see PCM REPLACEMENT ).
NO -Go to step 6.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Check for continuity between D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.Fig 3: Checking Continuity Between A/T Gear Position Indicator Panel Light Harness Connector Terminal 3 And Body Ground

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 8.
NO -Repair open in the wire between D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector terminal No. 3 and body ground (G501), or repair poor body ground (G501).
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Disconnect PCM connector A (49P).
- Check for continuity between D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.Fig 4: Checking Continuity Between A/T Gear Position Indicator Panel Light Harness Connector Terminal 1 And Body Ground

Is there continuity?
YES -Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal A17 and the D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector.
NO -Go to step 12.
- Check for continuity between D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector terminal No. 1 and PCM connector terminal A17.Fig 5: Checking Continuity Between A/T Gear Position Indicator Panel Light Harness Connector Terminal 1 And PCM Connector Terminal A17

Is there continuity?
YES -Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see PCM UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ) and recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM (see PCM REPLACEMENT ).
NO -Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal A17 and the D3 switch/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light harness connector.
