DTC P0850A6E407001082243
Diagnostic procedure
DTC P0850 Neutral switch circuit malfunction
DETECTION
CONDITION•PCM monitors input voltage from neutral switch while engine is running. If input voltage from neutral switch
does not change when vehicle stops after accelerating to above 60 km/h {37 mph} and decelerating to 0
km/h {0 mph} two times, PCM determines neutral switch circuit malfunction.
POSSIBLE

•Open circuit in wiring between neutral switch terminal B and GND
•Open circuit in wiring between neutral switch terminal A and PCM terminal 56
•PCM malfunction
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION
