- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the automatic transmission shift lock actuator.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- Observe the test light while applying and releasing the brake pedal. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when applying and releasing the brake pedal.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the automatic transmission shift lock actuator. Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the I/P fuse block.
- Place the transmission lever in the park position.
- Test for less than 1Ξ© between the signal circuit terminal 32 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the shift lock actuator.
