Shift Lock Solenoid Test

Shift Lock Solenoid Test
1. Remove the center console.
2. Remove the shift lock solenoid/park pin switch/A/T gear position indicator panel light connector from the shift lever bracket base, then disconnect the connector.





3. Connect the battery positive terminal to shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 1, and connect the battery negative terminal to terminal No. 3.

NOTE: Do not connect the battery positive terminal to terminal No. 3 or you will damage the diode inside the shift lock solenoid.

4. Check that the shift lever can be moved from the P position. Remove the battery terminals from the shift lock solenoid connector. Move the shift lever back to the P position, and make sure it locks.
5. Check that the shift lock releases when the shift lock release is pushed, and check that it locks when the shift lock release is released.
6. If the shift lock solenoid works improperly, replace it.
