Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

1. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. Attempt to move the shift lever out of the PARK position.

Does the shift lever move out of the PARK position?

Go to Step 3

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Install a scan tool.
3. Ensure transmission shift lever is in the PARK position.
4. Ensure brake pedal is released.
5. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
6. With a scan tool, observer the brake to shift control status in the rear integration module (RIM) data list.

Does the scan tool display ON status?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 8

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Connect a test lamp between the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid supply voltage circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid and a good ground.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 9

1. Connect a test lamp between the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid supply voltage circuit and the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid control circuit at the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.
2. With a scan tool, command the brake to shift control ON and OFF several times while observing the test lamp.

Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?
