Go to Step 3

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Install a scan tool.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal.
5. With a scan tool, observe the shift lock control output in the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) data list.

Does the scan tool display an Active status?

Go to Step 4

With a scan tool, observe the brake switch input in the powertrain control module (PCM) data list.

Does the brake switch status indicate Active?

Go to Step 8

Go to Stop Lamps Inoperative in Lighting Systems

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Connect a test lamp at the shift lock control solenoid voltage supply circuit at the connector of the shift lock control solenoid and a good ground.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 10

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the harness connector of the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
3. Connect a test lamp between the shift lock control solenoid voltage supply circuit and the shift lock control solenoid control circuit at the connector of the shift lock control solenoid.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. With a scan tool, command the shift lock control output ON and OFF several times.

Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?
