Key Interlock Solenoid/Switch Test

Key Interlock Solenoid/Switch Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, and the precautions and procedures before performing repairs or service.
1. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover.
2. Disconnect the key switch connector (7P) from the steering lock assembly.





3. Check for continuity between the No. 5 and No. 7 terminals when the key is pushed, and check for no continuity when the key is released.
4. Check that the key cannot be removed with power connected to the No. 7 terminal and ground connected to the No. 3 terminals.
- If the key cannot be removed, the key interlock solenoid is OK.
- If the key can be removed, replace the steering lock assembly (the key interlock solenoid is not available separately).
