SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING 

1. Connect the HDS to the DLC.  

2. Select Shift Lock Solenoid Test in Miscellaneous Test Menu, and check that the shift lock solenoid 

operates with the HDS. If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit 
(see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).

Does the shift lock solenoid work properly?

YES -Go to step 12. 

NO -Go to step 3. 

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

4. Disconnect the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector.  

5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

6. Measure the voltage between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?  

YES -Go to step 7. 

NO -Check for a blown No. 10 fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is OK, repair open in the 
wire between the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector and the under-dash fuse/relay box. 

7. Shift the shift lever into the P position, and press the brake pedal. Do not press the accelerator.  

8. Measure the voltage between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 3 and No. 4 while 

pressing the brake pedal.

Is there battery voltage?  

YES -Go to step 9. 

NO -Go to step 10. 

9. Connect the battery positive terminal to D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 3, and 

connect the battery negative terminal to the terminal No. 4, then check that the shift lock solenoid 
operates.

Does the shift lock solenoid operate properly?  

YES -Repair the shift lock mechanism. 

NO -Replace the shift lock solenoid (see SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID REPLACEMENT ).

NOTE:

Do not connect the battery positive terminal to terminal No. 4 or you will 
damage the diode inside the shift lock solenoid.
