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

  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?

    Yes:  2

    No:  Replace the solenoid unit. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>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?

    Yes:  3

    No:  Replace the solenoid unit. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>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?

    Yes:  4

    No:  Replace the "P" range switch. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>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?

    Yes:  Normal.

    No:  Replace the "P" range switch. Ref. to CONTROL SYSTEMS>AT Shift Lock Solenoid and "P" Range Switch
