3.

Select Data Analysis, A/T menu and Shift Lever Switch. Move the shift lever through all
gears (P, R, N and D) and monitor the Shift Lever Switch.

4.

If the Shift Lever Switch shows:
 The correct shift lever position, the wiring currently has no open/short circuits. Go to
Step 6.
 Does not show the correct shift lever position, go to Step 5.

5.

Visually check the wiring harness between the PCM and inhibitor switch for a damaged wire or
open circuit/short circuit to ground. Check for a damaged pin or pin not fully inserted into the
connector.
 If damage is found, repair or replace the control wiring and drive the vehicle to confirm the
repair.
 If no damage or open/short circuit is found, go to Step 6.

6.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and
place the shift lever in P and N. Confirm the
indicator lights in the dash cluster show the
correct gear in P and N.
 If P and N are displayed, go to Step 7.
 If P or N are not displayed, go to Steps
9~12 and 15 and check the alignment of
the inhibitor switch. If P and N are not
displayed after adjustment, go to Step 7.

7.

Check the TCU and TCU2 fuse in the junction
box in the engine compartment:
 Check the fuse for an open circuit.
 Check the fuse for correct capacity.
 Check the fuse holder for a tight fit.
 Check for loose or damaged wires.
If damage or intermittent open circuit is found,
repair or replace the junction box and front
harness.
If no damage or intermittent open circuit is
found, go to Step 8.

Turn the ignition and headlights on. Use a
DVOM to check the voltage drop between the
combination lamp wiring terminal and ground.
Specification: Less than 0.2 V.
If more than 0.2V, clean the terminal and bolt
threads and tighten the bolt.
If less than 0.2V, go to Step 9.
