  3. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the shift lock solenoid connector to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2 terminal to the battery negative terminal.
  4. Check that the shift lever can be moved from the position. Release the battery terminals from the shift lock solenoid connector. Move the shift lever back to the position, and make sure it locks.
    NOTE: Do not connect power to the No. 2 terminal (reverse polarity) or you will damage the diode inside the solenoid.
