ness and inhibitor
switch connector.
5 CHECK INHIBITOR SWITCH.

Te r m i n a l s
No. 7 — No. 12:Is the resistance more than 1
MΩ?Go to step 6.Replace inhibitor
switch. <Ref. to
4AT-51, Inhibitor
Switch.>
6 CHECK SELECTOR CABLE CONNECTION.Is there any fault in selector
cable connection to inhibitor
switch?Repair the select
cable connection.
<Ref. to CS-14,
INSPECTION,
Select Cable.>Contact the SUB-
ARU dealer.
N
OTE:
Inspection by DTM
is required, because
probable cause is
deterioration of mul-
tiple parts.
