Continuity Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the neutral switch. (See MANUAL TRANSAXLE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
Inspect for continuity between the neutral switch terminals using a tester.
- If the neutral switch is normal, but PID value is out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- If not as specified, replace the neutral switch.
