The shift indicator housing ordered as
supply parts does not include the cover
of the shift−lock override button.
So, if you replace the shift indicator
housing, install cover from the old
housing into the new housing.
Install the cover with its cutout facing
toward the rear of the vehicle.

3. INSPECT KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
terminals.
Standard resistance: 12.5 − 16.5 Ω
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
(c) Apply battery positive voltage between the terminals.
Check that the solenoid can be heard operating.
If solenoid operation is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
4. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL SWITCH
Inspect that there is continuity between each terminal.
