  1. Transmission shft control lever will not move from PARK with the brake pedal applied.
  2. Transmission shft control lever will move from PARK without the brake pedal applied.

Circuit/System Description

The body control module controls the transmission shift lock control solenoid actuator by providing a battery positive voltage to the solenoid when the brake pedal is applied. The BCM monitors the voltage and current flow of the control circuit.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Ignition ON.
  2. Verify the scan tool Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Solenoid Actuator Command parameter changes from Inactive to Active when the brake pedal is applied.
    3. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  3. If the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Solenoid Actuator Command does not change

    Refer to Stop Lamps Malfunction

    4. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  4. If the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Solenoid Actuator Command changes

    5. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  5. Verify the S3 transmission shift lever moves out of the PARK position when the brake pedal is applied.
    6. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  6. If the the S3 transmission shift lever does not move out of the PARK position

    Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

    7. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  7. If the the S3 transmission shift lever does move out of the PARK position

    All OK.

    8. [/ARW-LISTPASS]

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the S3 transmission shift lever. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    3. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  3. If 10 Ω or greater

    4. [/ARW-LISTFAIL]
    2.1. Ignition OFF.
    2.2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
    [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  4. If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

  5. If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.

    6. [/ARW-LISTFAIL] [ARW-LISTPASS]

  6. If less than 10 Ω

    7. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  7. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 and the ground circuit terminal 2.
  8. Verify the test lamp turns ON and OFF when commanding the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock Solenoid Actuator ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    9. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  9. If the test lamp is always OFF

    10. [/ARW-LISTFAIL]
    4.1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module.
    4.2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
    [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  10. If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

    11. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  11. If infinite resistance

    12. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
    4.3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
    [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  12. If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    13. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  13. If less than 2 Ω

    14. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
    4.4. Ignition ON.
    4.5. Verify a test lamp illuminates between each B+ and ignition circuit terminal at the control module harness connector.
    ⇒ If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the circuit or fuse as necessary.
    ⇒ If the test lamp illuminates at each B+ and ignition circuit, replace the K9 body control module.
    [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  14. If the test lamp is always ON

    15. [/ARW-LISTFAIL]
    4.1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K9 body control module, ignition ON.
    4.2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
    [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  15. If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

  16. If less than 1 V, replace the K9 body control module.

    17. [/ARW-LISTFAIL] [ARW-LISTPASS]

  17. If the test lamp turns ON and OFF

    18. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  18. Test or replace the S3 transmission shift lever.

Component Testing

Dynamic Test

  1. Install a 10 A fused jumper wire between the control terminal 4 and 12 V. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the ground terminal 2 and ground.
  2. Verify the solenoid turns on & off/clicks, etc.
    3. [ARW-LISTFAIL]

  3. If the solenoid does not turn on & off/clicks, etc.

    Replace the S3 transmission shift lever.

    4. [/ARW-LISTFAIL][ARW-LISTPASS]

  4. If the solenoid does turn on & off/clicks, etc.

    5. [/ARW-LISTPASS]
  5. All OK

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.
