Reverse Lock System Circuit Troubleshooting

  1. Check whether the OBD II scan tool indicates P1705 or P1706.

    Does the OBD II scan tool indicate either code? 

    1. YES  -Perform the DTC Troubleshooting for the indicated Code(s).
    2. NO  -Go to step  2 .
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Shift the shift lever into the P  position while pushing the shift lock release.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  5. Depress the brake pedal, and do not depress the accelerator pedal.
  6. Shift the shift lever out of the P  position to check that the shift lock solenoid operates.

    Does the shift lever shift out of the  [P  ] position? 

    1. YES  -Go to step  7 .
    2. NO  -Perform the Troubleshooting for the Shift Lock System Circuit. See Shift Lock System Circuit Troubleshooting  .
  7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  8. Remove the shift lock relay.
  9. Check for continuity between the No. 1 and No. 4 terminals of the shift lock relay while connecting the battery positive terminal to the No. 5 terminal of the shift lock relay, and connecting the negative terminal to the No. 3 terminal.

    Is there no continuity when connecting the battery terminals, and continuity when disconnecting the battery terminals? 

    1. YES  -Go to step  10 .
    2. NO  -Replace the shift lock relay.
  10. Shift the shift lever into the N  position.
  11. Check the continuity between the No. 4 terminal of the shift lock relay socket and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    1. YES  -Repair short to ground in the wire between the No. 4 terminal of the shift lock relay and the shift position switch.
    2. NO  -Go to step  14 .
  14. Check for continuity between the No. 1 terminal of the shift lock relay socket and the No. 2 terminal of the shift lock solenoid connector.
