2. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
terminals.
Standard resistance: 26 − 33 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.
