Shift Actuator

Control Circuit Tests

NOTICE
Use appropriate test leads or adapters such
as Test Probe Kit, P/N 342677, when perform-
ing electrical tests.
NEVER pierce the insulation of the engine
wiring, or use any piercing-style test probe.
Piercing insulation damages the wire and can
cause other unintended electrical problems.
Circuit tests check the integrity of the main engine
harness and EMM circuits using resistance or
diode tests. Continuity tests check the integrity of
ground circuits and/or the 55V circuit. These tests
eliminate the need to disconnect the engine har-
ness from the EMM, or remove the EMM.
Remove the electrical connector from the shift
actuator.
Make sure the key switch is OFF.
Use the diode test function of a digital multimeter
to check the shift actuator circuits. Use an appro-
priate test probe lead to connect the negative
meter lead to the wire listed in the table, connect
the positive meter lead to an engine ground.

Shift Actuator Ground Circuit

Use a digital multimeter with appropriate test
probe leads to measure the ground circuit resis-
tance. Connect the positive meter lead to the
engine harness connector wire listed in the table.
Connect the negative meter lead to engine
ground.
