2. Shift to the D position and select D3 driving mode by pressing the D3 switch, and watch the D3 indicator. 

Does the D3 indicator come on?  

YES -The system is OK at this time. 

NO -Go to step 3. 

3. Check the PGM-FI DTCs with the HDS. 

Are DTC U0028 or U0155 indicated?  

YES -Troubleshoot the indicated DTC, then recheck. 

NO -Go to step 4. 

4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

5. Disconnect the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector.  

6. Check for continuity between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 while 

pressing the switch and when the switch is released.

Is there continuity while pressing the D3 switch, and no continuity when the D3 switch is released?  

YES -Go to step 7. 

NO -Replace the D3 switch (see D3 SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT ). 

7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

8. Shift the shift lever to the D position.  

9. Measure the voltage between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

Is there battery voltage?  

YES -Repair open in the wire between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 2 and 
ground (G451), or repair poor ground (G451). 

NO -Go to step 11. 

11. Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminal D3 and body ground.
