Key Interlock System Inspection

1. Switch the ignition to ON.
2. Perform the following procedures to inspect the key interlock system. If there is any malfunction, inspect the key interlock solenoid and NOT P position switch. (See «KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID INSPECTION»(ref-579347-S09425301042013100700000) .)(See «NOT P POSITION SWITCH INSPECTION»(ref-579347-S40834563022013100700000) .) Verify that the ignition cannot be switched to off when the selector lever is not in the P position. Verify that the ignition can be switched to off when the selector lever is in the P position.
