Shift Lock Solenoid Test

1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located behind the driver's dashboard lower cover.





2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting.
3. Select Shift Lock Solenoid Test in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, and check that the shift lock solenoid operates with the HDS.
4. Make sure that the shift lever can be moved out of P when Shift Lock Solenoid is ON. Move the shift lever back in P, and make sure it locks when Shift Lock Solenoid is OFF.
5. Make sure 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 does not work properly, go to the shift lock system troubleshooting. Shift Lock System Circuit Troubleshooting
