  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE STOP AND START ECU - NEUTRAL POSITION SENSOR (NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH))


    1. Disconnect the A74 engine stop and start ECU connector.

    2. Disconnect the D7 neutral position sensor (neutral position switch) connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A74-26 (TMVC) - D7-1 (W1) Always Below 1 Ω
      A74-25 (TME2) - D7-3 (F+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A74-27 (TMN) - D7-2 (TMN) Always Below 1 Ω
      A74-26 (TMVC) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D7-1 (W1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A74-25 (TME2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D7-3 (F+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A74-27 (TMN) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D7-2 (TMN) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. CHECK ENGINE STOP AND START ECU (TMN TERMINAL VOLTAGE)


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