PREPARATION:
(a) Remove side trim cover (See page SF−62).
(b) Shift the shift lever to neutral.
(c) Jack up one of the front wheels
(d) Turn ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminal SPD of ECM connector and
body ground when the wheel is turned slowly.
OK:
Voltage is generated intermittently.

DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park / neutral position switch goes on when the shift lever is in the N or P shift position. When it goes
on terminal NSW of the ECM is grounded to body ground via the starter relay thus the terminal NSW voltage
becomes 0 V. When the shift lever is in the D, 2, L or R position, the park / neutral position switch goes off,
so the voltage of ECM terminal NSW becomes battery positive voltage, the voltage of the ECM internal pow-
er source.
If the shift lever is moved from the N position to the D position, this signal is used for air−fuel ratio correction
and for idle speed control (estimated control), etc.
