KL1 - Check SIL Light



NOTE: To verify Shift Indicator Light (SIL) operation, observe the SIL while driving the vehicle. The SIL should turn on when optimum shift speed is reached in each gear and remain off while in the highest gear.

If the SIL is always on, look for a short to ground in the SIL circuit. If the SIL is always off, look for an open in the SIL circuit.
