    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      D24-3 (IG) - Body ground Ignition switch ON (IG) 11 to 14 V
      Ignition switch OFF Below 1 V

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      7*1 - Body ground
      5*2 - Body ground
      Always Below 1 Ω

      *1: w/ Smart Key System

      *2: w/o Smart Key System

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH 
    1. Measure the resistance between each terminal of the shift lever assembly when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Shift Position Specified Condition
      3 - 9*1
      3 - 7*2
      S, "+" and "-" Below 1 Ω
      Except S, "+" and "-" 10 kΩ or higher
      2 - 7*1
      2 - 5*2
      Press continuously
      "+"
      (Up shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      S 10 kΩ or higher
      1 - 7*1
      1 - 5*2
      Press continuously
      "-"
      (Down shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      S 10 kΩ or higher

      *1: w/ Smart Key System

      *2: w/o Smart Key System

    NG → See step  REMOVAL 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - ECM) 
    1. Connect the transmission control switch connector of the shift lever assembly.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Turn the ignition switch on (IG), and measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Shift Position Specified Condition
      A55-25 (S) - Body ground S, "+" and "-" 11 to 14 V
      Except S, "+" and "-" Below 1 V
    4. Turn the ignition switch off.
    5. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    6. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to each position.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Shift Position Specified Condition
      A55-16 (SFTU) - Body ground Press continuously
      "+"
      (Up shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      S 10 kΩ or higher
      A55-51 (SFTD) - Body ground Press continuously
      "-"
      (Down shift)
      Below 1 Ω
      S 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
