Test

Manual Transmission:
NOTE: Check the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse box before testing.

1. Test the back-up light switch by placing the shift lever in reverse and turning the ignition switch to ON.

2. If the back-up lights do not go on, check the backup light bulbs in the taillight assembly.

3. If the fuse and bulbs are OK, disconnect the connectors from the back-up light switch.

4. Check for continuity between the A and B wires with the switch installed. There should be continuity as the shift lever engages "R".
•   If there is no continuity, replace the switch.

•   If there is continuity, but the back-up lights do not go on, check for:

- Poor ground, hatchback: G553, G771, sedan: G554. - An open in the YEL or GRN/BLK wire.
Automatic Transmission:
NOTE: Check the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse box before testing.
1. Test the back-up light switch by shifting the shift lever to "R" and turning the ignition switch ON.
2. If the back-up lights do not go on, check the backup light bulbs in the taillight assembly.

3. If the fuse and bulbs are OK, disconnect the 14-P connector from the shift position console switch (back-up light switch).

4. Check for continuity between No. 4 and No. 5 terminals. Move the lever back and forth at the "R" position without touching the push button, and check for continuity within the range of free play of the shift lever.

• If there is no continuity within the range of free play, adjust the position of the shift position console switch (see Section 14).

•   If there is continuity, but the back-up lights do not go on, check for:
- Poor ground, hatchback: G553, G771, sedan: G554.
- An open in the YEL or GRNIBLK wire.
