2. Shift to the D position and select D3 driving mode by pressing the D3 switch, and watch the D3 indicator.

Does the D3 indicator come on?

YES -The system is OK at this time.

NO -Go to step 3.

3. Check the PGM-FI DTCs with the HDS.

Are DTC U0028 or U0155 indicated?

YES -Troubleshoot the indicated DTC, then recheck.

NO -Go to step 4.

4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

5. Disconnect the D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector.

6. Check for continuity between D3 switch/shift lock solenoid connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 while

pressing the switch and when the switch is released.
