A/T SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771817
 The electrical key interlock mechanism also operates as a shift lock: With the ignition switch turned to ON, the selector lever cannot be shifted from “P” (parking) to any other
position unless the brake pedal is depressed.
With the key removed, the selector lever c annot be shifted from “P” to any other position.
The key cannot be removed unless the selector lever is placed in “P”.
 The shift lock and key interlock mechanisms are controlled by the ON-OFF operation of the shift lock sole-
noid and by the operation of the rotator and slider located inside the key cylinder, respectively.

longer stored. Remember, only one set of freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM. The ECM has the fol-
lowing priorities to update the data.
Both 1st trip freeze frame data and freeze frame data (along with the DTC) are cleared when the ECM mem-
ory is erased.
HOW TO ERASE DTC
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased by CONSULT- III, GST or ECM DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE as
described following.
 If the battery cable is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost within 24 hours.
 When you erase the DTC, using CONSULT-III or GS T is easier and quicker than switching the mode
selector on the ECM.
The following emission-related diagnostic information is cleared from the ECM memory when erasing DTC
related to OBD-II. For details, refer to EC-42, "Emission-related Diagnostic Information"
.
 Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC)
 1st trip diagnostic trouble codes (1st trip DTC)
 Freeze frame data
 1st trip freeze frame data
 System readiness test (SRT) codes
 Test values
HOW TO ERASE DTC (WITH CONSULT-III)
1. The emission related diagnostic information in the TCM and ECM can be er\
ased by selectioning "ALL
ERASE" in the "Description" of "F INAL CHECK" mode with CONSULT-III.
HOW TO ERASE DTC (WITH GST)
1. If the ignition switch stays “ON” after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch “OFF” once. Wait at least
10 seconds and then turn it “ON” (engine stopped) again.
2. Select Mode 4 with the Generic Scan Tool (GST). For details refer to EC-72, "Generic Scan Tool (GST)
Function".
HOW TO ERASE DTC (NO TOOLS)
1. Disconnect battery for 24 hours.
2. Reconnect battery.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)INFOID:0000000003771823
DESCRIPTION
The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned “ON” with-
out the engine running. This is a bulb check.
 If the MIL does not light up, refer to EC-55, "Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL)".
2. When the engine is start ed, the MIL should go off.
If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.

Diagnosis Procedure without CONSULT-IIIINFOID:0000000004024115
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH GST)
Refer to EC-72, "Generic Scan Tool (GST) Function".
OBD-II SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)
Refer to EC-55, "Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)".
TCM SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (NO TOOLS)
Description
When the ignition switch is switched “ON”, the A/T CHECK indicator lamp lights up for 2 seconds. As a method
for locating the suspect circuit, w hen the self-diagnostics start signal is input, the memory for the malfunction
location is output and the A/T CHECK indicator lamp flashes to display the corresponding DTC.
Diagnostic Procedure
1.CHECK A/T CHECK INDICATOR LAMP
1. Start the engine with selector lever in “P” pos ition. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch ON and OFF at least twice, then leave it in the OFF position.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
Does A/T CHECK indicator lamp come on for about 2 seconds?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO TM-119, "A/T Check Indicator Lamp Does Not Come On"
.
2.JUDGEMENT PROCEDURE STEP 1
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Keep pressing shift lock release button.
3. Move selector lever from “P” to “D” position.
4. Release accelerator pedal. (Set the closed throttle position signal “ON”.)
5. Depress brake pedal. (Stop lamp switch signal “ON”.)
6. Turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
7. Wait 3 seconds.
8. Move the selector lever from “D” to “3” position.
9. Release brake pedal. (Stop lamp switch signal “OFF”.)
10. Move the selector lever from “3” to “2” position.
11. Depress brake pedal. (Stop lamp switch signal “ON”.)

>> DIAGNOSIS END
Judgement Self-diagnosis Code
If there is a malfunction, the lamp lights up fo r the time corresponding to the suspect circuit.
Erase Self-diagnosis
 In order to make it easier to find the cause of hard-to-duplicate malfunctions, malfunction information is
stored into the control unit as necessary during use by the user. This memory is not erased no matter how
many times the ignition switch is turned ON and OFF.
 However, this information is erased by turning igni tion switch OFF after executing self-diagnostics or by
erasing the memory using the CONSULT-III.

COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
U1000 CAN COMM CIRCUIT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003771825
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication li ne for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communica tion speed and excellent malfunction detection ability.
Many electronic control units are equipped onto a vehicl e, and each control unit shares information and links
with other control units during operation (not independent ). In CAN communication, control units are con-
nected with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L li ne) allowing a high rate of information transmission
with less wiring. Each control unit transmits/recei ves data but selectively reads required data only.
On Board Diagnosis LogicINFOID:0000000003771826
 This is an OBD-III self-diagnostic item.
 Diagnostic trouble code “U1000” with CONSULT-III is detected when TCM cannot communicate to other
control units.
Possible CauseINFOID:0000000003771827
Harness or connectors
(CAN communication line is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation ProcedureINFOID:0000000003771828
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch “OFF”
and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”. (Do not start engine.)
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode for “ENGINE” with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine and wait for at least 6 seconds.
4. If DTC is detected, go to TM-39, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-III”.
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000003771829
1.CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT
With CONSULT-III1. Turn ignition switch “ON” and start engine.
2. Select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “TRANSMISSION” with CONSULT-III.
Is any malfunction of the
“CAN COMM CIRCUIT” indicated?
YES >> Go to LAN section. Refer to LAN-14, "Trouble Diagnosis Flow Chart".
NO >> INSPECTION END
