AT Shift Lock Solenoid and "P" Range Switch: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID. Measure the resistance of solenoid unit connector terminals. Terminals No. 4 - No. 3:	Is the resistance 19.8 - 24.2 Ω?	Go to step 2 .	Replace the solenoid unit.
2 CHECK SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID. Connect the battery to connector terminal of shift lock solenoid, and operate the shift lock solenoid. Terminals No. 3 (+) - No. 4 (-):	Does the shift lock solenoid operate normally?	Go to step 3.	Replace the solenoid unit.
3 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. Shift the select lever to "P" range. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 4 .	Replace the "P" range switch.
4 CHECK "P" RANGE SWITCH. Set the select lever to other than "P" range. Measure the resistance between "P" range switch connector terminals. Terminals No. 1 - No. 2:	Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?	Normal	Replace the plate guide COMPL.
