Circuit/System Description
The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) controls the automatic transmission shift lock solenoid by providing a ground for the solenoid. The RCDLR utilizes a smart driver to control the ground to the automatic transmission shift lock solenoid. The smart driver monitors the voltage and current flow of the control circuit.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, Clear the DTC. Observe the scan tool RCDLR Shift Lock Solenoid Command parameter. The parameter should change from UNLOCK to LOCK when the brake pedal is depressed and released.
- Observe the scan tool RCDLR Shift Lock Solenoid State parameter. The parameter should change from UNLOCK to LOCK OFF when the brake pedal is depressed and released.
| ⇒ | If the parameter did not change, refer to Stop Lamps Malfunction. |
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the shift lock control solenoid.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal E and ground.
- Connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal E and control circuit terminal K.
- Depress and release the brake pedal several times. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF as commanded.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the shift lock control solenoid.
| ⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate , test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the shift lock control solenoid. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the RCDLR. |
| ⇒ | If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or short to voltage. If the circuit test normal, replace the RCDLR. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
