    Check the wiring
   
   
    Intermittent faults may occur as a result of temporary short circuits and breaks in the wiring. Jiggle the leads at several places and in different directions to reveal any faults in the wiring harness, including connectors. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or ISAT scan tool while carrying out this check.
    
    
    
     Diagnostic procedure
    
    
     1 Check the gear selector position sensor's outputs
    
    
      
    
    
   
   
  
    
  
  
  
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Unplug connector H10-1 (10-pin connector, located behind the battery). 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Connect an ohmmeter between the relevant pin as indicated in the table (H10-1, male connector) and pin 8. Check the resistance in respect of all selector lever positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1), see table.

   Are correct resistance readings obtained?
  
  
  
   
    Continue with step 3.
    
    
   
  
  
  
  
   
    Continue with step 2.
    
    
   
  
  
  
   2 Check the adjustment of the gear selector position sensor
  
  
    Check the setting of the gear selector position sensor, see
  
  
  
   Check the setting of the gear selector position sensor, see
   
     .
   
   .
   
   
   
    Is the gear selector position sensor correctly adjusted?
   
   
   
    
     Check connector H10-1 for pin slide-out and corrosion. Check the leads connected to the transmission for shorting/continuity due to damaged insulation. If no cause of the fault can be found, change the gear selector position sensor. Proceed to point 6.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Adjust the gear selector position sensor, see
     
       and continue with step 6.
     
     and continue with step 6.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    3 Check the wiring connected to the transmission control module
   
   
     
   
   
  
  
   Check the wiring harness by reading the input for the gear selector position sensor with the diagnostic tool in connector H10-1 (female) with the connector pins open and connected to B+ respectively.
   
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Turn the ignition to the ON position. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Select "SELECTOR POS. SENSOR" 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | - | Read "CONTACT A", "CONTACT B", "CONTACT C" and "CONTACT PA" with the selector lever in position P. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
  
   The diagnostic tool should show OFF when open and ON when the respective connector pin is coupled to B+.
   
   
   
    Are the readings correct?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with step 6.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Continue with point 4.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    4 Check the wiring harness
   
   
     
   
   
  
  
   Unplug the shift-lock relay (in the main fuse box), dashboard) and check the continuity of the wiring between connector H10-1 and the transmission control module.
   
   
   
    Is the wiring harness OK?
   
   
   
    
     Plug in the shift-lock relay and continue with point 5.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Rectify the fault and proceed to point 6.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    5 Check the wiring harness (contd.)
   
   
     
   
   
  
  
   Check the continuity of the wiring harness between connector H10-1 and the transmission control module.
   
   
   
    Is the wiring harness OK?
   
   
   
    
     Continue with step 6.
     
     
    
   
   
   
   
    
     Change the relay and continue with point 6.
     
     
    
   
   
   
    6 Final check
   
   
     
   
   
  
  
   Clear the diagnostic trouble code, drive the car on test at varying engine loads and speeds for 5 minutes and check whether the diagnostic trouble code recurs.
   
   
   
    Does the diagnostic trouble code recur?
