Shift Interlock Control Module: Testing and Inspection

TERMINAL INSPECTION



1. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock control unit.
2. Inspect the connector and connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
- If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
- If the terminals look OK, make the following input test at the connector.

INPUT TEST

Terminal Location/ID:









- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, substitute a known-good control unit, and recheck the system. If the check is OK, the control unit must be faulty: replace it.

NOTE: If the shift lock solenoid clicks when the ignition switch is turned ON and the brake pedal is depressed with the shift lever in [P] position, the shift lock system is normal; if the shift lever cannot be shifted from [P] position, test the A/T gear position switch.
