Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
Select Shift Lock Solenoid Test in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, and check that the shift lock solenoid operates with the HDS.
Check that the shift lever can be moved out of P with Shift Lock Solenoid: ON. Move the shift lever back in P, and make sure it locks with Shift Lock Solenoid: OFF.
Check that the shift lock releases when the shift lock release is pushed, and check that it locks when the shift lock release is released.
If the shift lock solenoid works improperly, do the shift lock system troubleshooting (see SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
