Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the engine switch off.
  3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  5. Turn the Techstream on.
  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
  7. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

    NORMAL CONDITION CHART

    Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
    Shift SW Status (R Range) Park/neutral position switch status/
    ON or OFF    		 Shift lever is:
    • ON: On R
    • OFF: Not on R
    		 When shift lever position displayed on the Techstream differs from actual position, adjustment of park/neutral position switch or shift cable may be incorrect
    Shift SW Status (P Range) Park/neutral position switch status/
    ON or OFF    		 Shift lever is:
    • ON: On P
    • OFF: Not on P
    		 When shift lever position displayed on the Techstream differs from actual position, adjustment of park/neutral position switch or shift cable may be incorrect
    Shift SW Status (N Range) Park/neutral position switch status/
    ON or OFF    		 Shift lever is:
    • ON: On N
    • OFF: Not on N
    		 When shift lever position displayed on the Techstream differs from actual position, adjustment of park/neutral position switch or shift cable may be incorrect
    Shift SW Status (D Range) Park/neutral position switch status/
    ON or OFF    		 Shift lever is:
    • ON: On D or S
    • OFF: Not on D or S
    		 When shift lever position displayed on the Techstream differs from actual position, adjustment of park/neutral position switch or shift cable may be incorrect
  1. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY 
    1. Disconnect the E49 park/neutral position switch connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the park/neutral position switch when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE REFERENCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      6 (PL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever on P Below 1 Ω
      1 (RL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever on R Below 1 Ω
      9 (NL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever on N Below 1 Ω
      7 (DL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever on D Below 1 Ω
      6 (PL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever not on P 10 kΩ or higher
      1 (RL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever not on R 10 kΩ or higher
      9 (NL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever not on N 10 kΩ or higher
      7 (DL) - 2 (RB) Shift lever not on D 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPLACE PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL  )

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY (POWER SOURCE) 
    1. Disconnect the E49 park/neutral position switch connector.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH - TCM) 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.
