Diagnostic Starting Point - Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control
Begin the system diagnosis with the Diagnostic System Check - Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control . The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information
- The identification of the control modules which command the system
- The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit
- The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status
The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 2: Lack of communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit or due to a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure will determine the particular condition.
- 5: The presence of DTCs which begin with "U" indicate some other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the available information before tests are performed.

Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control System
The automatic transmission shift lock control system is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running. The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out of the PARK position. The system consists of the following components
- The automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid
- The automatic transmission shift lock control switch
- The body control module (BCM)
With the ignition in the ON position, voltage is supplied to automatic transmission shift lock control switch. Voltage flows through the normally closed contacts of the automatic transmission shift lock control switch to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. When the body control module (BCM) receives a class 2 message from the powertrain control module indicating the transmission is in the park position the BCM grounds the automatic transmission shift lock solenoid control circuit. This energizes the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid causing the transmission shift lever to be physically locked in the PARK position. When the brake pedal is pressed the contacts in the automatic transmission shift lock control switch open, de-energizing the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. This allows the shift lever to be move out of the PARK position.
Park Lock Solenoid
Vehicles equipped with a floor shift have a park lock solenoid. The park lock solenoid is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the key is in the OFF position. The key must be in the RUN position to release the park lock solenoid.
- The system consists of the park lock solenoid.
- The body control module (BCM)
With the ignition in the ON position, voltage is supplied to the park lock solenoid. The park lock solenoid energizes through a controlled ground at the body control module. When the body control module (BCM) receives a class 2 message from the powertrain control module indicating the transmission is in the park position the BCM grounds the control circuit. With the ignition in the OFF or ACCY position the park lock solenoid de-energizes and mechanically locks the shift lever in the park position.
