AT Shift Lock Solenoid and "P" Range Switch: Inspection

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK SOLENOID UNIT. 
Measure the resistance of solenoid unit connector terminals.
Terminals 
No. 4 - No. 3: 
Is the resistance 27.6 - 30.5 Ω? Go to step 2.  Replace the solenoid unit. < Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH . >
2 CHECK SOLENOID UNIT. 
Connect the battery to the solenoid unit connector terminals, and then operate the solenoid.
Terminals 
No. 3 (+) - No. 4 (-): 
Does the solenoid unit operate normally? Go to step 3.  Replace the solenoid unit. < Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH . >
3 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. 
  1. Shift the select lever to "P" range.
  2. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 1 - No. 2: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 4.  Replace the "P" range switch. < Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH . >
4 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. 
  1. Set the select lever to other than "P" range.
  2. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 1 - No. 2: 

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? Normal Replace the "P" range switch. < Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH . >
