Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the shift lock control solenoid.
  2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal E and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the shift lock control solenoid.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal E and control circuit terminal K.
  4. Depress and release the brake pedal several times. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF as commanded.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RCDLR.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to voltage. If the circuit test normal, replace the RCDLR.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the shift lock control solenoid.
