Checking the engine start inhibit switch
Check for continuity between the connector terminals indicated in the table.
![]() | ![]() |
If there is no continuity between the specified terminals, replace the start inhibit switch.
Checking the input shaft speed sensor and output shaft speed sensor
The sensors can only be checked using an oscilloscope. If the sensors are faulty, fault codes (37, 42) will be displayed. The sensor signals can be checked at the corresponding terminals of the automatic transmission electronic control unit.

- Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the negative battery cable before disconnecting the air bag module.
- When removing, refer to the relevant chapter "Safety Restraint System (SRS)".
2. With the switch button pressed, check for conductivity between terminals "1" (E) - "2" (SPT) of the manual gear shift switch connector.

Checking the gear shifters on the steering wheel
1. Remove the steering wheel together with the airbag module.
