Shift Lever Can Be Moved without Brake Pedal Depressed Column Shift

Step	Action	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Shift Lock Control Schematics DEFINITION: Transmission shift lever does not lock in the PARK position with the ignition ON and the brake pedal not pressed.
1	Did you perform the Symptoms - Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control tests and all the necessary inspections?	Go to Step 2	Go to Symptoms - Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control
2	Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. Turn ON, the ignition, with the engine OFF. 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
3	Turn OFF the ignition. Ensure transmission shift lever is in the PARK position. Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock switch supply voltage circuit at the BTSI fuse and a good ground. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 4	Go to Step 8
4	Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock switch supply voltage circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control switch and a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 5	Go to Step 14
5	Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock solenoid control circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control switch and a good ground. Press and release the brake pedal several times. Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with the brake pedal?	Go to Step 6	Go to Step 11
6	Connect a test lamp between the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid supply voltage circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid and a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 15
7	Test the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid ground circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 20	Go to Step 12
8	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector. Connect a test lamp between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the park/neutral position switch and a good ground. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 13
9	Turn OFF the ignition. Connect a 10 amp fused jumper between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the park/neutral position switch and the park/neutral position switch park signal circuit at the park/neutral position switch connector. Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock switch supply circuit at the BTSI fuse and a good ground. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Does the test lamp illuminate?	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 16
10	Inspect for proper park/neutral position switch adjustment. Refer to Park/Neutral Position Switch Adjustment in Automatic Transmission. Inspect for poor connections at the park/neutral position switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 20	Go to Step 17
11	Inspect for poor connections at the automatic transmission shift lock control switch. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 20	Go to Step 18
12	Inspect for poor connections at the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 20	Go to Step 19
13	Repair the open or short in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the park/neutral position switch. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 20	--
14	Repair the open or short in the A/T shift lock switch supply voltage circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 20	--
15	Repair the open in the A/T shift lock control solenoid supply voltage circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 20	--
16	Repair the open or short in the park/neutral position switch park signal circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 20	--
17	Replace the park/neutral position switch. Refer to Park/Neutral Position Switch Replacement in Automatic Transmission. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 20	--
18	Replace the automatic transmission shift lock control switch. Refer to Stop Lamp Switch Replacement in Hydraulic Brakes. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 20	--
19	Replace the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. Refer to Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Actuator Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 20	--
20	Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you find and correct the condition?	System OK	Go to Step 2
