Is the result as specified?Go to Step 6. Faulty “4WD LOW” switch
or its circuit.
If OK, substitute a known-
good PCM and recheck.
6 Is vehicle equipped with cruise control system? Go to Step 7. Substitute a know-good
PCM and recheck.
7 Cruise control signal inspection :
With ignition switch ON, check voltage between
E61-35 terminal of PCM coupler and ground.
Is it battery voltage?Substitute a known-good
PCM and recheck.Faulty cruise control mod-
ule or its circuit.
If OK, substitute a known-
good PCM and recheck. Step Action Yes No

Table A-2 : No Gear Shift to O/D
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
PCM does not shift to O/D gear under any of the following conditions.
•O/D off switch : ON
•4WD LOW switch : ON
•Cruise control module : O/D OFF command signal is output (if equipped).
•ECT : ECT < 30 °C (86 °F)
