1. Connect a test lamp between the park/neutral position (PNP) switch park signal circuit at the automatic transmission (A/T) shift lock control switch and a good ground.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 5

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock control solenoid supply voltage circuit at the A/T shift lock control switch and a good ground.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 4

Go to Step 12

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Connect a test lamp between the A/T shift lock solenoid control supply voltage circuit at the A/T shift lock control solenoid and a good ground.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 16

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Ensure the transmission is in the PARK position.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. With a scan tool, observe the brake to shift relay status in the rear integration module (RIM) data list.

Does the scan tool display ON?

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 15

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the brake to shift relay.
3. Connect a test lamp between the brake to shift relay coil side feed circuit and a good ground.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 17

Connect a test lamp between the brake to shift relay switch side feed circuit and a good ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 18

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Connect a test lamp between the brake to shift relay coil side feed circuit and the brake to shift relay control circuit.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. With a scan tool, command the brake to shift relay ON and OFF.

Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?

Go to Step 9

Go to Step 10

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Connect a 10-amp fused jumper between the brake to shift relay switch side feed circuit and the PNP switch park signal circuit
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal.
5. Attempt to move the shift lever out of the PARK position.
