Shift Interlock Control Module: Testing and Inspection

WARNING: SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures before performing repairs or service.

Interlock Control Unit Input Test
1. Remove the instrument panel lower cove.
2. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock control unit.
3. 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 tests 5 at the connector.
- If a 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 while depressing the brake pedal with the shift lever in [P] position, the shift lock system is OK. If the shift lever cannot be shifted from [P] position, test the A/T gear position switch.
