MULTI-MODE MANUAL TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0821

DTC Code DTC Name
P0821 Gear Lever "X" Position Circuit

DESCRIPTION

Based on the signal from the transmission shift main switch, the TCM detects whether the shift lever is in E or M. If the shift lever position switch is ON despite the shift lever being in N or R, the TCM stores this DTC.

For more details of the transmission shift main switch, refer to DTC P0820.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT ASSEMBLY (TRANSMISSION SHIFT MAIN SWITCH)


    1. B0042ISC01
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      Shift Lock Control Unit Assembly

      (Transmission Shift Main Switch)

      Disconnect the shift lock control unit connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      4 (MDSW) - 8 (GND) Shift lever in R, N or E 10 kΩ or higher
      Shift lever in M, "+" or "-" Below 1 Ω
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    NG
    OK
  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT ASSEMBLY - TCM)


    1. Disconnect the TCM connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E104-10 (MDSW) - E103-4 (MDSW) Always Below 1 Ω
      E104-10 (MDSW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Result
      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    NG
    OK
  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND)


    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
