Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Listen for an audible click when the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 3:  This step tests for a good ground at the ground circuit of the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
  3. 4:  This step verifies that the BCM is providing battery voltage to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
  4. 5:  This step tests if battery voltage is constantly being applied to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
