Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID.
Measure the resistance of shift lock solenoid 
connector terminals.

Terminal

No. 4 — No. 3:

Is the resistance 12 — 18 

Ω

Go to step 2.

Replace the shift 
lock solenoid.

2

CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID.
Connect the battery to shift lock solenoid con-
nector terminal, and then operate the solenoid.

Terminal

No. 3 (+) — No. 4 (

−

):

Does the shift lock solenoid 
operate normally?

Go to step 3.

Replace the shift 
lock solenoid.

3

CHECK “P” RANGE SWITCH.
1) Set the select lever to “P” range.
2) Measure the resistance between “P” range 
switch connector terminals.

Terminal

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 
Ω?

Go to step 4.

Replace the “P” 
range switch.

4

CHECK “P” RANGE SWITCH.
1) Set the select lever to other than “P” range.
2) Measure the resistance between “P” range 
switch connector terminals.
