Transmission Control Switch Circuit
After moving the shift lever to S, it is possible to switch the shift range between "1" (S1 range) and "5" (S5 range) using the transmission control switch.
Shifting to "+" once raises the shift range by one, and shifting to "-" once lowers the shift range by one.

PROCEDURE
INSPECT TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH
(a) Disconnect the F76 transmission control switch connector. |
 |
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
3 (IG) - 7 (S) |
Shift lever in S, "+" or "-" |
Below 1 Ω |
2 (SFTU) - 5 (E) |
Shift lever held in "+" (Up-shift) |
Below 1 Ω |
1 (SFTD) - 5 (E) |
Shift lever held in "-" (Down-shift) |
Below 1 Ω |
3 (IG) - 7 (S) |
Shift lever not in S, "+" or "-" |
10 kΩ or higher |
2 (SFTU) - 5 (E) |
Shift lever in S |
10 kΩ or higher |
1 (SFTD) - 5 (E) |
Shift lever in S |
10 kΩ or higher |

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - BATTERY, BODY GROUND)
(a) Disconnect the F76 transmission control switch connector. |
 |
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Switch Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
F76-3 (IG) - Body ground |
Ignition switch ON |
11 to 14 V |
F76-3 (IG) - Body ground |
Ignition switch off |
Below 1 V |
(c) Turn the ignition switch off.
(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
F76-5 (E) - Body ground |
Always |
Below 1 Ω |

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH - ECM)
(a) Disconnect the F50 ECM connector. |
 |
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
F50-24 (S) - Body ground |
|
11 to 14 V |
F50-24 (S) - Body ground |
|
Below 1 V |
(c) Turn the ignition switch off.
(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
F50-16 (SFTU) - Body ground |
Shift lever held in "+" (Up-shift) |
Below 1 Ω |
F50-22 (SFTD) - Body ground |
Shift lever held in "-" (Down-shift) |
Below 1 Ω |
F50-16 (SFTU) - Body ground |
Shift lever in S |
10 kΩ or higher |
F50-22 (SFTD) - Body ground |
Shift lever in S |
10 kΩ or higher |
