WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK SOLENOID UNIT. 
Measure the resistance of solenoid unit connector terminals.
Terminals 
No. 4 - No. 3: 
Is the resistance 27.6 - 30.5 Ω? Go to step 2.  Replace the solenoid unit. <Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH .>
2 CHECK SOLENOID UNIT. 
Connect the battery to the solenoid unit connector terminals, and then operate the solenoid.
Terminals

Does the solenoid unit operate normally? Go to step 3.  Replace the solenoid unit. <Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH .>
3 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. 
  1. Shift the select lever to "P" range.
  2. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 1 - No. 2: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 4.  Replace the "P" range switch. <Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH .>
4 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. 
  1. Set the select lever to other than "P" range.
  2. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals.

    Terminals 

    No. 1 - No. 2: 

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more? Normal Replace the "P" range switch. <Ref. to AT SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID AND "P" RANGE SWITCH .>
