A B (GRN/BLK)
B Reversing Light Switch
C This washer must always be replaced for the switch to function properly and to prevent oil leaks
D A (YEL)

1. Turn the ignition switch ON and move the gear lever to R. The reversing lights should come on.
2. If a reversing light does not go on, check for a blown bulb in the tail light assembly.
3. If both reversing lights do not go on, check for blown No. 8 (10 A) fuse in the passenger compartment fuse/relay box.
4. If the fuse and bulbs are OK, go to step 2.
5. Disconnect the connectors from the reversing light switch.
6. Check for continuity between the A and B terminals. Only with the gear lever in R, there should be continuity.
7. If there is no continuity, replace the switch (see section 13).
8. If there is continuity, but the reversing lights do not go on, check for:
   • an open in the YEL or GRN/BLK wire.
   • poor earth (LHD: G501, RHD: G701).
