Diagnosis and Testing

Inspection and Verification

WARNING:
WARNING:Apply the parking brake. Shift the automatic transmission to position "P". Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

Because fault diagnosis starts as soon as the vehicle is taken in for repair we recommended the following procedure:

  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
  1. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  1. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to WDS/FDS 2000.

Shift Lock Solenoid Check

Vehicle parked

  • Move the selector lever to position "P" and switch on the ignition.

With the brake pedal not depressed: the shift lock solenoid locks the selector lever in position "P". It cannot be moved to a drive position.

With the brake pedal depressed: the shift lock solenoid releases the selector lever and a drive position can be engaged. - Move the selector lever slowly from "P" to all positions "R", "N", "D", "4", "3", and "2" and check if the indicated position matches the selector lever position.

Switch off the ignition.

  • Move the selector lever to the "N" position and switch on ignition.

With the brake pedal not depressed: the shift lock solenoid locks the selector lever in position "N". It cannot be moved to a drive position.

With the brake pedal depressed: the brake/shift interlock solenoid releases the selector lever and a drive position can be engaged.

Vehicle being driven

  • Vehicle speeds over 5 km/h:

At speeds above 5 km/h, if the selector lever is moved to position "N", the shift lock solenoid must not engage to immobilise the selector lever. The selector lever can be moved to a drive position.

  • Vehicle speeds below 5 km/h:

At speeds below 5 km/h, if the selector lever is moved to position "N", the shift lock solenoid must only engage after approximately 1 second in order to immobilise the selector lever. The selector lever can only be moved from position "N" when the brake pedal is depressed.

If faults are evident, refer to Wiring Diagrams. If OK, install a new selector lever.
REFER to Selector lever in this section.

Selector Lever Position Indication Check

Move the selector lever into the small "sequential shifting" alley.

In the selector lever indication, "D" should extinguish and the symbols "+" and "-" should light up.

On the instrument cluster the indication should change from "PRND432" to "54321".
