TROUBLESHOOTING <A/T>

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (FF)

23A-55

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
If the inhibitor switch has not been sending any 
signal for at least 30 seconds, an open circuit may be 
present and dianosis code No.27 will be set.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

•

Malfunction of the inhibitor switch

•

Damaged harness wires and connectors

•

Malfunction of the engine-A/T-ECU

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. MUT-II/III data list

Item 61: Inhibitor switch 

P.23A-133

 (Refer to data list 

reference table).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 

00 

−

 How to Cope with Intermittent 

Malfunction 

P.00-6

).

NO <none of the selector lever positions are 
displayed on MUT II/III> : 

Go to Step 2.

NO <only one of the selector lever positions is not 
displayed on MUT II/III> : 

Go to Step 6.

STEP 2. Check the inhibitor switch.

Refer to 

P.23A-145

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

Replace the inhibitor switch.
