DTC CHART

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID. Measure the resistance of shift lock solenoid connector terminals. Terminals No. 4 - No. 3:	Is the resistance between 12 - 18 Ω	Go to step 2.	Replace the shift lock solenoid.
2 CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID. Connect the battery to shift lock solenoid connector terminal, and then operate the solenoid. Terminals No. 3 (+) - No. 4 (-):	Does the shift lock solenoid operate normally?	Go to step 3.	Replace the shift lock solenoid.
3 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. Move the select lever to "P" range. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 4.	Replace the "P" range switch.
4 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. Set the select lever to other than "P" range. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Normal operation	Replace the "P" range switch.
