DTC P0851 NEUTRAL SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT LOW (AT MODEL)

DTC P0851 NEUTRAL SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT LOW (AT MODEL)

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:


• Two consecutive driving cycles with fault

• GENERAL DESCRIPTION


TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Erroneous idling

Important

After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct Clear Memory Mode and Inspection Mode .


WIRING DIAGRAM:


CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.

Is any other DTC displayed?

Yes

Inspect DTC P0705 using “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.


No


CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR ECM.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Place the select lever except for “N” and “P” ranges.

Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 9 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage 4.5 — 5.5 V?

Yes

Even if malfunction indicator light lights up, the circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time.


No


CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND TRANSMISSION HARNESS CONNECTOR.

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

Disconnect the connectors from ECM and transmission harness connector (T3).

Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 9 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?

Yes


No

Repair ground short circuit in harness between ECM and transmission harness connector.


CHECK TRANSMISSION HARNESS CONNECTOR.

Disconnect the connector from inhibitor switch.

Measure the resistance of harness between transmission harness connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(T3) No. 12 — Engine ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?

Yes


No

Repair ground short circuit in harness between transmission harness and inhibitor switch connector.


CHECK INHIBITOR SWITCH.

Measure the resistance between inhibitor switch connector the receptacle’s terminals in select lever except for “N” and “P” range.

Terminals

No. 7 — No. 12:

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?

Yes


No

Replace the inhibitor switch.


CHECK SELECTOR CABLE CONNECTION.

Is there any fault in selector cable connection to inhibitor switch?

Yes

Repair selector cable connection.


No
