Select Shift Lock Solenoid Test in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, and check that the shift lock solenoid operates with the HDS.
NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the PCM, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
Make sure that the shift lever can be moved out of P when the HDS indicates Shift Lock Solenoid: ON. Move the shift lever back in P, and make sure it locks when the HDS indicates Shift Lock Solenoid: OFF.
Make sure that the shift lock releases when the shift lock release is pushed, and make sure it locks when the shift lock release is released.
If the shift lock solenoid does not work properly, troubleshoot shift lock system (see SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
