Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit | Short to Ground | Open/High Resistance | Short to Voltage | Signal Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Shift Lock Control Solenoid Control | B2707 | 1 | B2708 | -- |
Shift Lock Control Solenoid Ground | -- | 1 | -- | -- |
1. Unable to move shift lever with brake pedal depressed. | ||||
Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the shift lock solenoid by providing battery voltage to the shift lock control solenoid. The BCM utilizes a smart driver to control the voltage supplied to the shift lock solenoid. The smart driver monitors the voltage and current flow of the control circuit.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, vehicle in PARK, observe the scan tool TCM TR SW parameter. The parameter should indicate PARK.
- Observe the scan tool TCM Brake Switch parameter while pressing and releasing the brake pedal. The parameter should change between Applied and Released.
- Press the brake pedal, the vehicle operator should not be able to move the shifter lever out of the PARK position.
| ⇒ | If not the specified value, refer to Range Selector Displays Incorrect Range. |
| ⇒ | If the parameter does not change between the specified values, refer to Stop Lamps Malfunction. |
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the shift lock control solenoid.
- Test for less than 1.0 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the ground circuit terminal B and the control circuit terminal A.
- Ignition ON, command the scan tool BCM Brake to Shift Relay output control ON and OFF. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF as commanded.
- If the circuit tests normal, replace the transmission control.
| ⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
