Interlock System
Control Unit Input Test
1. Disconnect the 8P connector from the interlock con-trol unit.
2. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to besure they are all making good contact.. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repairthem as necessary, and recheck the system.. lf the terminals look OK, make the followinginput tests at the connector.- lf a test indicates a problem, find and correctthe cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, substitute aknown-good control unit, and recheck the sys-tem. lf the check is OK, the control unit mustbe faulty; replace it.
NOTE: lf the shift lock solenoid clicks when theignition switch is turned ON {ll) and you step on thebrake pedal (with the shift lever in E), the shift locksystem is electronically normal; if the shift leve.cannot be shifted from E], test the Aff gear position
switch, park pin switch, and see section 14.

Key Interlock Solenoid Test
Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and
knee bolster (see section 20)
Disconnect the 7P connector from the main w're
harness.
3. Check Ior continuity between the terminals in each
kev oosition according to the table'
4. Check that the key cannot be removed with power
and ground connected to the No. 7 and No 6 termi-
nals
. lf the key cannot be removed. the key interlock
solenoid is OK.
. lf the key can be removed, replace the steering
lock assembly (the interlock solenoid is not avail-
able seParatelY).

Combination Light Switch Test
1.Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and steering column covers (see section 20)
Disconnect the 4P and 7P connectors from the switch.
Inspect the connector and socket 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 theterminals look OK, check for continuity between them ineach switch position according tothetables lfthere
is no continuity between any of them. check for continuity in the switch harness
- lf there is continuity in the switch harness. replace the combination light switch
- lf there is no continuity in the switch harness, replace it.

Switch Test
lMake sure you have the anti-theft code for the
radio, then write down the frequencies for the
radio's preset buttons ('99 - 00 models).
Disconnect the battery negative cable, then disconnect
the positive cable, and wait at least three minutes.
Disconnect the driver's airbag connector (see sec-
tion 24).
