  3. Connect the No.1 terminal of the shift lock solenoid connector (2P) to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2 terminal to the battery negative terminal.

    NOTE: Do not connect power to the No. 2 terminal (reverse polarity) or you will damage the diode inside the solenoid.

  6. If the shift lock solenoid does not work properly, replace it.
