Circuit Description

The body control module (BCM) supplies voltage to the auto trans shift lock control output when the following conditions occur:

    • The ignition switch is in RUN.
    • The transaxle is in the PARK position.

While the brake pedal is pressed, the following functions occur:

    • The stoplamp/auto trans shift lock control switch opens the auto trans shift lock control circuit.
    • The shift auto trans shift lock control solenoid is disabled.

The BCM monitors the output. The BCM determines the actual voltage of the auto trans shift lock control circuit every 0.3 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

    • The BCM detects a short to voltage in auto trans shift lock control circuit.
    • The condition is present for more than 0.1 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DTC B0803 stores in the BCM memory.
    • No driver warning message displays.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • The BCM no longer detects a short to voltage.
    • A history DTC clears after 50 consecutive ignition cycles if the condition for the malfunction is no longer present.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. Listen for an audible click when the auto trans shift lock control solenoid operates. Command both the ON and OFF states. Repeat the commands as necessary.

  2. Verifies that the Body Control Module (BCM) is providing voltage to the auto trans shift lock control solenoid.

  3. Tests for an open in the ground circuit to the auto trans shift lock control solenoid.

  4. Tests if voltage is constantly being applied to the auto trans shift lock control solenoid.
