Check the transmission range switch signal that did not indicate ON with the HDS.

Does the transmission range switch indicate ON?

     
YES
     
     
     
     
NO
     
     
     
The transmission range switch is OK. Go to step 4.

Open wire check (ATP-P, ATP-R, ATP-N, ATP-D, ATP-S, ATP-L*, ATP-FWD, ATP-RVS line):

Open wire check in corresponding wire
?1.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS.


?3.
