PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
• If a normal code is displayed during the diagnostic trouble
code check although the trouble still occurs, check the
electrical circuits for each symptom in the order given in
the charts on the following pages and proceed to the page
given for troubleshooting.
• The Matrix Chart is divided into 2 chapters.
• When the circuit on which mark *1 is attached is a
malfunction, DTC could be output.
Refer to the table below when the trouble cause is considered
to be electrical. If the instruction PROCEED TO NEXT
CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
TABLE is given in the flowchart of each circuit, inspect the
suspected areas in descending order for each symptom. If
the trouble still occurs even though there are no

SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK SHIFT LOCK OPERATION
(a) Move the shift lever to the P position.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
(c) Check that the shift lever cannot be moved to any
position other than P.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the on position, depress
the brake pedal and check that the shift lever can be
moved to another position. If operation can not be
done as specified, inspect the shift lock control unit.
2. CHECK SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON
OPERATION
(a) Using a small screwdriver, remove the shift lock
release cover.
(b) When operating the shift lever with the shift lock
release button pressed, check that the lever can be
moved to any position other than P.
If operation can not be done as specified, check the
shift lever assembly installation condition.
3. CHECK KEY INTERLOCK OPERATION
(a) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and move the shift lever to
any position other than P.
(c) Check that the ignition key cannot be turned to the
LOCK position.
(d) Move the shift lever to the P position, turn the
ignition key to the LOCK position and check that the
ignition key can be removed.
If operation cannot be done as specified, inspect the
shift lock control unit.
4. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK CONTROL UNIT ASSEMBLY
(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the
table below.
HINT:
Do not disconnect the shift lock control unit
assembly connector.

5. INSPECT KEY INTER LOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Connect KLS+ (4) terminal to the batteries' positive
(+) terminal and KLS (3) terminal to the battery
negative (-) terminal, and apply about 12 V between
KLS+ - KLS- terminals.
(c) Check that operation noise can be heard from the
solenoid.
If the solenoid does not operate, replace the
solenoid.
6. INSPECT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Connect SSL+ (2) terminal to the batteries' positive
(+) terminal, and SLS- (1) terminal to the battery
negative (-) terminal, and apply about 12 V between
SLL+-SLS- terminals.
(c) Check that operation noise can be heard from the
solenoid.
If the solenoid does not operate, replace the
solenoid.
