Is there continuity when pressing the paddle shifter − (downshift switch) and no continuity when the paddle shifter − (downshift switch) is released?

YES | - | Replace the cable reel subharness.■
NO | - | Replace the paddle shifter − (downshift switch). ■

1. Remove the cable reel.

1. Check for continuity cable reel 20P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Go to Step 7 .
NO | - | Repair open in the wire between cable reel 20P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground (G501), or repair poor ground (G501).■

1. Check for continuity between cable reel 20P connector terminal No. 15 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Repair short to body ground in the wire between cable reel 20P connector terminal No. 15 and PCM connector terminal A43.■
NO | - | Go to Step 8 .

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

1. Measure the voltage between cable reel 20P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 15.

Is there about 5 V?

YES | - | Replace the cable reel. ■
NO | - | Go to Step 10 .

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

1. Disconnect PCM connector A (44P).

1. Connect cable reel 20P connector terminal No. 15 to body ground with a jumper wire.

1. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal A43 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Check for loose or poor connections at PCM connector terminal A43. If the connection is OK, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck.■
NO | - | Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal A43 and the cable reel 20P connector.■
