Shift Lock Solenoid Test

Shift Lock Solenoid Test
1. Remove the center console.





2. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid 2P connector.
3. Connect battery power to the No. 1 terminal (+) and to the No. 2 terminal (-) of the solenoid momentarily.

NOTE:
- Do not connect power to the No. 2 H terminal (reverse polarity) or you will damage the diode inside the solenoid.
- Make sure there is clearance between the stop pin and base bracket when the solenoid is ON and OFF.

4. Check that the shift lock releases when the release lever is pushed, and that it locks when the lever is released.
5. If the solenoid does not work, replace it.
