Symptom Troubleshooting (cont’d)
REVERSE LOCKOUT SOLENOID 2P CONNECTOR
RVS (GRN/BLK)
NOTE: When checking if the transmission will shift to reverse while the wheels are being driven forward,
raise the vehicle on a lift, make sure it is securely
supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
 Do not release the clutch pedal if you can select reverse gear while the wheels are driven forward.
 When the vehicle is on a lift, and you make the wheels rotate, turn off the VSA system by the VSA
OFF switch.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Try to shift the transmission into reverse.
Go to step 4.
Go to step 3.
3. Do the reverse lockout solenoid test (see page 13-77).
Check the change lever assembly (see page
13-105), if necessary inspect the internal
transmission.
Repair or replace the reverse lockout solenoid
(see page 13-77).
4. Start the engine, and try to shift the transmission into reverse.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
Go to step 5. 5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
7. Disconnect ECM connector A (44P).
8. Disconnect the r
everse lockout solenoid 2P
connector.
9. Check for continuity between the reverse lockout solenoid 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body
ground.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
between the reverse lockout solenoid and the
ECM.
Check for loose terminals or poor connections
at the ECM. If necessary, update the ECM if it does
not have the latest software (see page 11-227), or
substitute a known-good ECM (see page 11-7), then
recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-
good ECM, replace the original ECM (see page
11-228).
