WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (SHIFT P SIGNAL) |
Use the Data List to check if the shift position signal is functioning properly.
Main BodyTester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
Shift P Signal | Shift P position signal/ON or OFF | ON: Shift lever in P OFF: Shift lever not in P | - |
ResultResult | Proceed to |
Display on the intelligent tester does not change according to shift lever operation | A |
Display on the intelligent tester changes according to shift lever operation | B |
2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MAIN BODY ECU - SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU AND BODY GROUND) |

Disconnect the E4 main body ECU connector.
Disconnect the E51 shift lock control ECU connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
E4-2 (P) - E51-11 (P2) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E51-3 (E) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
E4-2 (P) or E51-11 (P2) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
3.INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU |
Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
ReferenceTerminal No. (Symbol) | Tool Setting | Condition |
E51-11 (P2) - E51-3 (E) | 2 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV. | Shift lever in P |
- OK:
- The waveform is similar to that shown in the illustration.
