  1. Disconnect electrical connector at Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch. PNP switch is mounted on side of transmission/transaxle. Note terminal identification. (Scheme 269)
  2. Using ohmmeter, check for continuity between specified terminals with shift lever in proper positions. See «PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-91239-S28640376592001030600000) table. If proper continuity cannot obtained, adjust or replace PNP switch as necessary.

Power steering pressure switch is located on power steering pump, near pressure hose. Testing information is not available from manufacturer.

For testing of throttle control motor, see THROTTLE BODY under IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM.

  1. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect electrical connector at Throttle Position (TP) sensor mounted on side of throttle body. Note terminal identification on TP sensor. (Scheme 270)- (Scheme 273).
  2. Apply vacuum to throttle opener. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between specified terminals in relation to throttle position. See «THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE»(ref-91239-S00299047382001030600000) table. Replace components as necessary if resistance is not within specification.
