2. INHIBITOR SWITCH
The inhibitor switch allows the back-up lights to turn on
when the select lever is in the R range and the starter
motor to start when the lever is in the N or P range. It also
monitors the input signal electronically controlled for each
range and turns on the corresponding range light on the
instrument panel.
When light operation, driving condition or starter motor
operation is erroneous, first check the shift linkage for
improper operation. If the shift linkage is functioning
properly, check the inhibitor switch.
(1) Disconnect cable end from select lever.
(2) Disconnect inhibitor switch connector.
(3) Check continuity in inhibitor switch circuits with
select lever moved to each position.
CAUTION:
Also check that continuity in ignition circuit does not
exist when selector lever is in R, D, 3, 2 and 1 ranges.

8. Leak Testing
The following points should be kept in mind when conduct-
ing a refrigerant leak test.
1) The A/C system to be tested must have an adequate
refrigerant charge to begin with.
2) The area where the leak test is conducted must be free
of wind and drafts, with still air being the ideal condition.
3) The atmosphere where the leak test is conducted must
be free of refrigerant contamination.
4) Operate the A/C system for approx. 10 minutes, then
turn the engine off an begin the leak test.
5) Refrigerant gas is heavier than air, therefore always
hold the probe below the connection being tested.
6) When checking for a leak along a length of hose or
tube, the leak detector probe must be moved slowly,
approx. 25 mm (1 in) per second making sure probe does
not come in contact with the component being tested.
7) When checking for a leak at a certain point, the leak
detector probe must be held at that point for at least 5
seconds.
G4M0609
1. CHECK THE SYSTEM PRESSURE
With gauges connected to the A/C system, operate the A/C
and confirm that the high side pressure is above 690 kPa
(7.03 kg/cm
2, 100 psi). If not, evacuate and charge the
system before leak checking (refer to evacuation and
charging sections).
2. CLEAN CONNECTIONS BEFORE TESTING
Before testing, use a clean shop towel to wipe off refriger-
ant oil, dirt, or foreign material from all of the connections
and components to be tested.
NOTE:
Since refrigerant oil absorbs refrigerant, excess oil on or
near a connection may falsely signal a leak.
B4M0089
3. CALIBRATE LEAK DETECTOR
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the particular
type of detector used and calibrate the instrument.
CAUTION:
Always make sure that the probe tip filter is clean and
free of contamination.
