Shift Interlock: Testing and Inspection
Interlock System - Shift Lock System Circuit Troubleshooting
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode. Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting. Testing and Inspection
3. Select Shift Lock Solenoid Test in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, and check that the shift lock solenoid operates with the HDS.
Does the shift lock solenoid work properly?
YES - Go to step 16.
NO - Go to step 4.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
5. Remove the center console. Center Console Removal/Installation
6. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid connector. Service and Repair
7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
8. Measure the voltage between shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 9.
NO - Check for a blown No. 12 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is OK, repair open in the wire between shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 1 and the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
9. Shift the shift lever in P, and press the brake pedal. Do not press the accelerator.
10. Measure the voltage between shift lock solenoid connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 while pressing the brake pedal.
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Go to step 12.
11. Release the brake pedal, and measure the voltage between shift lock solenoid connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2. The shift lever must be in P.
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal A2 and the shift lock solenoid connector.
NO - Check the shift lock mechanism If the mechanism is OK, replace the shift lock solenoid.. Service and Repair
12. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
13. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
14. Disconnect PCM connector A (49P).
15. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal A2 and shift lock solenoid connector terminal No. 2.
Is there continuity?
YES - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, PCM Update or substitute a known-good PCM, Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview and recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM. PCM Replacement
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal A2 and the shift lock solenoid connector.
16. Press the brake pedal.
Are the brake lights ON?
YES - Go to step 17.
NO - Repair faulty brake light circuit.
17. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
18. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
19. Disconnect PCM connector A (49P).
20. Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminal A8 and body ground while pressing the brake pedal and when the brake pedal is released.
Is there battery voltage while pressing the brake pedal and about 0 V when the pedal is released?
YES - Go to step 21.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal A8 and the brake pedal position switch.
21. Connect PCM connector A (49P).
22. Disconnect the transmission range switch connector.
23. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
24. Measure the voltage between transmission range switch connector terminals No. 7 and No. 6.
Is there around battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 31.
NO - Go to step 25.
25. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
26. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
27. Disconnect PCM connector A (49P).
28. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal A16 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal A16 and the transmission range switch connector.
NO - Go to step 29.
29. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal A16 and transmission range switch connector terminal No. 7.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 30.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal A16 and the transmission range switch connector.
30. Check for continuity between transmission range switch connector terminal No. 6 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, PCM Update or substitute a known-good PCM, Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview and recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM. PCM Replacement
NO - Repair open in the wire between transmission range switch connector terminal No. 6 and body ground (G101), or repair poor body ground (G101).
31. Test the transmission range switch. Transmission Range Switch Test
Is the transmission range switch OK?
YES - Go to step 32.
NO - Replace the transmission range switch. Service and Repair
32. Check the APP SENSOR in the Data List with the HDS. Do not press the accelerator.
Is the accelerator pedal position sensor opening 11 % or above, or the sensor voltage 1.60 V or above?
YES - Check the APP sensor. Testing and Inspection
NO - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, PCM Update or substitute a known-good PCM, Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview and recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM. PCM Replacement
