Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Testing and Inspection

Back-up Light Switch Test and Replacement
1. Disconnect the back-up light switch 2P connector (A).





2. Check for the continuity between the back-up light switch 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. There should be continuity when the shift lever is only in reverse. If there is no continuity, go to step 3 to replace the back-up light switch.
3. Remove the shift lever knob, boot holder, shift boot, shift lever, and shift lever spring.
4. Remove the three way catalytic converter (TWC).
5. Remove the propeller shaft.
6. Place the floor jack under the transmission, and remove the three transmission rear mount bolts (A), and then lower the transmission (B) 65 mm (2.56 in.).





7. Replace the back-up light switch (A) and the new washer (B) by the 3/8" crow foot wrench (19 mm) (C).
