starts only when the shift lever is in the N or P
position and the engine does not start when the shift
lever is in other positions.
(c) Check that the back up light comes on and the
reverse warning buzzer sounds only when the shift
lever is in the R position and the light and buzzer do
not operate when the shift lever is in other positions.
(d) If a failure is found, check the park/neutral position
switch for continuity.
2. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
ASSEMBLY
(a) Jack up the vehicle.
(b) Disconnect the park/neutral position switch
connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in
the table below when the shift lever is moved to
each position.

ADJUSTMENT
1. ADJUST PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
ASSEMBLY
(a) Loosen the 2 bolts of the park/neutral position
switch and move the shift lever to the N position.
(b) Align the groove with the neutral basic line.
(c) Hold the switch in position and tighten the 2 bolts.
Torque: 5.4 N*m (55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf)

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
• If a normal code is displayed during the diagnostic trouble
code check although the trouble still occurs, check the
electrical circuits for each symptom in the order given in
the charts on the following pages and proceed to the page
given for troubleshooting.
• The Matrix Chart is divided into 2 chapters.
• When the circuit on which mark *1 is attached is a
malfunction, DTC could be output.
Refer to the table below when the trouble cause is considered
to be electrical. If the instruction PROCEED TO NEXT
CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
TABLE is given in the flowchart of each circuit, inspect the
suspected areas in descending order for each symptom. If
the trouble still occurs even though there are no
abnormalities in the inspections listed for the symptoms,
check and replace the ECM.

HINT:
If your display shows UNABLE TO CONNECT TO
VEHICLE when you have connected the cable of
the OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester to the
DLC3, turned the ignition switch to the ON position
and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on
the vehicle side or tool side.
• If the communication is normal when the tool is
connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3
on the original vehicle.
• If the communication is still impossible when the
tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem
is probably in the tool itself, so consult the
Service Department listed in the tool's instruction
manual.
3. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
(a) Measure the battery voltage.
Battery voltage:
11 to 14 V
If voltage is below 11 V, replace the battery before
proceeding.
4. CHECK MIL
(a) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position and the engine is not
running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the
combination meter.
(b) When the engine is started, the MIL should go off. If
the lamp remains on, it means that the diagnosis
system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in
the system.

TEST MODE PROCEDURE
1. SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CHECK (WHEN USING SST
CHECK WIRE):
HINT:
• If the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the ACC
or LOCK position during Test Mode, the DTCs of the
signal check function will be erased.
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-
ahead position and move the shift lever to the P
position (Automatic Transmission) or apply the
parking brake (Manual Transmission).
(c) Using SST, connect terminals TS and CG of the
DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Check that the ABS warning light is blinking in the
Test Mode.
HINT:
If the ABS warning light does not blink, inspect the
TS and CG terminal circuit and the ABS warning
light circuit.
(f) Start the engine.
(g) Using SST, perform the speed sensor signal check
in Test Mode.
SST 09843-18040
(h) Drive the vehicle straight forward.
(i) Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 28 mph (45 km/
h) or higher for several seconds and check that the
ABS warning light goes off.
HINT:
The signal check may not be completed if the
vehicle has its wheels spun.
(j) Stop the vehicle.
NOTICE:
• The speed sensor signal check may not be
completed if the steering wheel is turned or
the wheels are spun during the check.

TS and CG terminal circuit and the ABS warning
light circuit.
(g) Start the engine.
(h) Using the intelligent tester, perform the speed
sensor signal check in Test Mode.
(i) Drive the vehicle straight forward.
(j) Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 28 mph (45 km/
h) or higher for several seconds and check that the
ABS warning light goes off.
HINT:
The signal check may not be completed if the
vehicle has its wheels spun.
(k) Stop the vehicle.
NOTICE:
• The speed sensor signal check may not be
completed if the steering wheel is turned or
the wheels are spun during the check.
• After the ABS warning light goes off and if
vehicle speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h), a
signal check code will be stored again.
Decelerate or stop the vehicle before the
speed reaches 50 mph (80 km/h).
• If the signal check has not been completed,
the ABS warning light blinks while driving
and the ABS system does not operate.
HINT:
When the signal check has been completed, the
ABS warning light goes off while driving and blinks
in the Test Mode pattern while stationary.
5. READ DTC
(a) Read the DTC(s) by following the tester screen.
HINT:
• Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual
for further details.
• See the list of DTC.

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page BC-10).
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Drive the vehicle at the speed of 4 mph (6 km/h) or more.
(d) Check that the same DTCs are recorded (See page BC-
10).
HINT:
If a speed signal of 4 mph (6 km/h) or more is input to the
skid control ECU, with the ignition switch on and the stop
light switch off, the ECU performs self-diagnosis of the
motor and solenoid circuits.
Result
HINT:
• If any DTCs are output while jiggling a connector or
wire harness of the brake actuator (skid control ECU),
inspect and repair the connector or wire harness.
• If the normal system code is output, slightly jiggle the
connectors, wire harnesses, and fuses of the brake
actuator assembly. Make sure that no DTCs are
output.
• These DTCs may be stored due to a malfunction in
the connector terminal connection, etc.
