  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) 60-pin connector. Check connector, and clean and repair as necessary. Ensure gear selector is in Drive. With DRB in ohmmeter mode, probe PCM connector terminal No. 30, park/neutral position switch sense circuit (Brown/ wire or Black/White wire).
    NOTE: = Tracer color on wire may vary between models. Information as to the specific color per model is not available from manufacturer.
  2. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, replace PCM. Perform VERIFICATION TEST SC-VER  . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, disconnect park/neutral position switch connector. Check connector, and clean and repair as necessary.
  3. With DRB in ohmmeter mode, probe PCM connector terminal No. 30, park/neutral position switch sense circuit (Brown/ wire or Black/White wire). If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, replace park/neutral position switch. Perform VERIFICATION TEST SC-VER  . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Brown/ wire or Black/White wire. Perform VERIFICATION TEST SC-VER  .
