10.If there is no continuity between any terminals, remove the transmission range switch, and check the end of the selector control shaft (A).

Selector Control Shaft 
Width (B): 6.1-6.2 mm (0.240-0.244 in.) 
End Gap (C): 1.8-2.0 mm (0.07-0.08 in.) 

 

11.The measurement of the selector control shaft end is within the standard, replace the transmission range switch. If the measurement is out of the standard, repair the selector control shaft end, and recheck the transmission range switch continuity.
