Go to Symptoms - Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control

1. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Attempt to move the shift lever out of the PARK position.

Does the shift lever move out of the PARK position?

Go to Step 3

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Connect a test lamp between the Ignition 1 circuit at the park/neutral position switch and a good ground.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 12

1. Ensure transmission shift lever is in the PARK position.
2. Connect a test lamp between the park/neutral position switch park signal circuit at the park/neutral position switch and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 9

Connect a test lamp between the park/neutral position switch park signal circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control switch and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 13

1. Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock control solenoid supply voltage circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control switch and a good ground.
2. Press and release the brake pedal several times.

Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with the brake pedal?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 10

1. Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock control solenoid voltage supply circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid and a good ground.
2. Press the brake pedal.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 14

Connect a test lamp between the ground circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid and battery positive voltage.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 11
