SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations , and the precautions and procedures in appropriate AIR BAG article under RESTRAINTS before performing repairs or service.

Disconnect the 22P connector from the multiplex control unit, driver's, then remove the control unit from the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

NOTE: If the shift lock solenoid clicks when the ignition switch is turned ON (II) while pressing the brake pedal with the shift lever in the P position, the shift lock system is OK. If the shift lever cannot be shifted from the P position, test the A/T gear position switch.

Inspect the connectors and connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
- If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
- If the terminals look OK, go to step 3.
With the control unit still disconnected from its connectors and the fuse/relay box, make these input tests.
- If a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 4.
