Diagnostic Procedure

SYMPTOM 1: 

• Selector lever cannot be moved from "P" position with key in ON position and brake pedal applied. 
• Selector lever can be moved from "P" position with key in ON position and brake pedal released. 
• Selector lever can be moved from "P" position when key is removed from key cylinder. 

SYMPTOM 2: 

• Ignition key cannot be removed when selector lever is set to "P" position. 
• Ignition key can be removed when selector lever is set to any position except "P". 

1. CHECK KEY INTERLOCK CABLE 

   Check the key interlock cable for damage.

   OK or NG

   • OK : GO TO 2.
   • NG : Repair key interlock cable. Refer to KEY INTERLOCK CABLE .
2. CHECK SELECTOR LEVER POSITION 

   Check the selector lever position for damage.

   OK or NG

   • OK : GO TO 3.
   • NG : Check selector lever. Refer to CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT .
3. CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND PARK POSITION SWITCH 
   1. Connect A/T device harness connector.
   2. Turn ignition switch "ON".
   3. Selector lever is set in "P" position.
   4. Check operation sound.

   • Harness for short or open between ignition switch and stop lamp switch harness connector E38 terminal 3 (R/W)
   • Harness for short or open between stop lamp switch harness connector E38 terminal 4 (L) and diode-4 harness connector E149 terminal 2 (L).
   • Harness for short or open between diode-4 harness connector E149 terminal 1 (R) and A/T device harness connector M34 terminal 5 (R).
   • Diode-4
   • Ignition switch (Refer to POWER SUPPLY ROUTING CIRCUIT ).

   OK or NG

   • OK : GO TO 7.
   • NG : Repair or replace damaged parts.
7. CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT 
   1. Turn ignition switch "OFF".
   2. Disconnect A/T device harness connector.
