SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures in the SRS
section (24) before performing repairs or service.
'1. Remove the instrument panel lower cover (see section 20).
2. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock control unit.
3. Inspect the connector and connector terminals to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following input tests at the connector.
- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system
- lf all the input tests prove OK, substitute a known-good control unit, and recheck the system. lf the check is OK,
the control unit must be faulty; replace it.
NOTE: lf the shift lock solenoid clicks when the ign ition switch is tu rned ON (ll) while pressing the brake pedal withthe
shift lever in E position, the shift lock system is OK. lf the shift lever cannot be shifted from E position. test the A/T
gear position switch.

component locations, precautions, and procedures in the
SRS section (24) before performing repairs or service,
'1. Remove the instrument panel lower cover (see sec-
tion 20).
2. Remove the steering column covers (see section 17).
3. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid 2P connector.
Connect the No. 1 terminal of the shift lock solenoid
connector to the battery positive tgrminal, and con-
nect the No. 2 terminal to the battery nogative ter-
mrnal.
Check that the shift lever can be moved from the E
oosition. Release the batterv terminals from the
shift lock solenoid connector. Move the shift lever
back to the E position, and make sure it locks.
NOTE: Do not connect power to the No. 2 (-) termi-
nal {reverse polarity) or you will damage the diode
inside the solenoid.
