  1. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL ECU 

    Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage at each terminal

    HINT:

    Do not disconnect ECU connector.

  2. INSPECT KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID 
    1. Disconnect the solenoid connector.
    2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 3 and 4.

      Standard resistance: 12-17 Ω

      If the resistance value is not as specified, replace the solenoid.

    3. Touch the solenoid with your finger and check that the solenoid operation can be felt when battery voltage is applied intermittently to terminals 3 and 4.

      If the operation is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
