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:  Tests for voltage at the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
  3. 4:  Verifies that the body control module (BCM) is providing ground to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
  4. 5:  Tests if ground is constantly being applied to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
  5. 16:  The body control module must be programmed for the vehicle RPO configuration.
