DATA LIST
Tech Tips
Using the Intelligent Tester Data List allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List early in troubleshooting is one way to shorten labor time.
Note
In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the Intelligent Tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Turn on the tester.
Select the item "Enter / Power train / ECT / Data List".
Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.
| Item | Measurement Item/ Range (display) |
Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neutral Position SW Signal | PNP SW Status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever position is; P and N: ON Except P and N: OFF |
When the shift lever position displayed on the Intelligent tester differs from the actual position, adjustment of the PNP switch or the shift cable may be incorrect. |
| Shift SW Status (L Range) | PNP SW Status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever position is; L: ON Except L: OFF |
↑ |
| Shift SW Status (2 Range) | PNP SW Status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever position is; 2 and L: ON Except 2 and L: OFF |
↑ |
| Shift SW Status (3 Range) | PNP SW Status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever position is; 3: ON Except 3: OFF |
↑ |
| Shift SW Status (R Range) | PNP SW Status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever position is; R: ON Except R: OFF |
↑ |
| Shift SW Status (D Range) | PNP SW Status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever position is; D and 3: ON Except D and 3: OFF |
↑ |
Tech Tips
Start the inspection from the step 1 when the malfunction is found in the 3 position, and start from step 2 when the malfunction is in the other position.
PROCEDURE
INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Jack up the vehicle.
Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
