    2. Check for continuity between terminals at the transmission range switch subharness 10P connector. There should be continuity between the terminals in the table for each shift lever position.
      • The transmission range switch test is finished if the test results are OK. Reconnect the connector.
      • If there is no continuity between any terminals, go to the next procedure.

      Selector Control Shaft Specification 

      Width (B): 6.1 - 6.2 mm (0.240 - 0.244 in) 

      End Gap (C): 1.8 - 2.0 mm (0.071 - 0.079 in) 

      • If the measurement at the end of the selector control shaft end is within the specification, replace the transmission range switch.
      • If the measurement is out of the specification, repair the selector control shaft end, and recheck the transmission range switch continuity.
