3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Check voltage between transmission range switch harness connector terminal and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> GO TO 4.

NO >> GO TO 7.

4.CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH AND TCM (PART 1)

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect TCM connector.
3. Check continuity between transmission range switch harness connector terminals and TCM harness connector terminals.                                             

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> GO TO 5.

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

5.CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH AND TCM (PART 2)

Check continuity between transmission range switch harness connector terminals and ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> GO TO 6.

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

6.CHECK TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH

Check transmission range switch. Refer to TM "Component Inspection (Transmission Range Switch)".

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI "Intermittent Incident".

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

7.CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN IPDM E/R AND TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH (PART 1)

1. Disconnect IPDM E/R connector.
2. Check continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector and transmission range switch. 

Is the check result normal?

YES >> GO TO 8.

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

8.CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN IPDM E/R AND TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH (PART 2)

Check continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector and ground. 

Is the check result normal?

YES >> GO TO 9.

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

9.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEMS

Check the following items:

• Harness open circuit or short circuit between ignition switch and IPDM E/R. Refer to PG "Wiring Diagram - Ignition Power Supply -".
• 10A fuse (No. 49, IPDM E/R). Refer to PG "IPDM E/R Terminal Arrangement".
• IPDM E/R

Is the check result normal?

YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI "Intermittent Incident".

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

Component Inspection (Transmission Range Switch)

1.CHECK TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH

Check continuity between transmission range switch connector terminals.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> INSPECTION END

NO >> There is a malfunction of transmission range switch. Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to TM"Removal and Installation".
