Honda HR-V: Back-Up Light Switch Test (M/T)

Test

Back-Up Light Side

1. Air Cleaner - Remove

2. Back-Up Light Switch - Test

1. Disconnect the connector (A).

2. Check for continuity between back-up light switch 4P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 4. There should be continuity only when the shift lever is in reverse.
   • If the test result is OK, go to step 5.
   • If the test result is not OK, go to step 3.

3. Remove the backup light switch (A)
4. Check for continuity between back-up light switch 4P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 4. There should be continuity when the switch end (B) is pressed, and no continuity when the switch end is released.
   • If the test result is OK, check the reverse shift mechanism in the transmission.
   • If the test result is not OK, replace the back-up light switch.
