AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SHIFT LEVER DIAGNOSIS (6-SPEED)
Service Procedure:
1.
If the condition is “Accessory power remains on when shifting into Park”, go to Step 10 and
replace the shift lever assembly. If not, go to Step 2.
2.
Turn the ignition key to the ON position or depress the Start/Stop Button two times and depress
the brake pedal.
Confirm the shift lever moves smoothly into all gear positions.
If the shift lever will not move out of Park, go to Step 3.
If the shift lever operates properly, go to Step 4.
3.
Use the ignition key or a screwdriver to engage
the shift-lock override. Move the shift lever
through all gear positions to confirm that it
operates properly.
If the shift lever moves out of Park, go to
Step 4.
If the shift lever does not move out of Park,
replace the shift lever.
4.
Attach a GDS and check for any DTCs in the “Automatic Transaxle” menu. Record the DTCs
and their descriptions. Delete the DTCs.
If any DTCs are found, refer to the appropriate shop manual and follow the repair procedure.
5.
From the GDS home page, select Data Analysis and A/T menu and confirm proper operation
of the following parameters.
If OK, the brake switch and shift lever are currently operating correctly. Go to Step 6.
If not, refer to the table below for repair guidance.

Go to Step 7.
7.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and
place the shift lever in P and N. Confirm the
indicator lights in the dash cluster show the
correct gear in P and N.
If P and N are displayed, go to Step 8.
If P or N are not displayed, check the
alignment of the inhibitor switch according to
TSB 15-AT-001. Replace, if necessary.
If P and N are not displayed after inhibitor
switch adjustment, go to Step 8.
8.
Check the TCU and TCU2 fuse in the junction
box in the engine compartment:
Check the fuse for an open circuit.
Check the fuse for correct capacity.
Check the fuse holder for a tight fit.
Check for loose or damaged wires.
If damage or an open circuit is found, repair or
replace the front harness/junction box
(PNC 91-912). For Elantra (UD/MD), replace the
EMS Block (91951-3X100) and retest.
If no damage or open circuit is found, go to
Step 9.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SHIFT LEVER DIAGNOSIS (6-SPEED)
Attach GDS Mobile and select Data Analysis,
VIN and Cluster menu. Confirm the GDS
indicates Battery Voltage on CLU is above 12v.
If not, check for an open circuit.
For Elantra UD/MD/GD/JK only: Confirm the
P
Inhibit Output is ON:
If ON: Go to Step 10.
If OFF: Check the cluster for the cause of the
condition or exchange the cluster from a
known good vehicle. Replace the cluster, if
necessary (PNC 91-940).
10. Use a plastic trim tool to remove the garnish.
Remove the shift knob and center console cover
to gain access to the shift lever according to TSB
15-01-012-1.
11. Move the shift lever to Park and turn the ignition
switch ON.
Depress the brake pedal and monitor the shift
lock solenoid to determine if the solenoid
releases the shift lever from Park. If the solenoid:
Releases the shift lever, the Service
Procedure is complete.
Does not release the shift lever, go to Step
12.
12. Use a DVOM to test the circuit:
a. Check for 12V at the shift lock solenoid (A) – (See Step 14 diagram).
If not 12V, check the fuse and the harness from the fuse to the shift lock solenoid for an
open/short circuit. Repair as necessary.
If 12V, go to Step 12b.
b. Depress the brake pedal and check for 0V at the shift lock solenoid (B).
If 0V, the BCM is functioning correctly. Replace the shift lever (includes ATM solenoid).
If not 0V, go to Step 13.

Refer to the shop manual and locate the BCM
or IPM. Disconnect the connector to the
BCM/IPM that provides ground for the shift
lock solenoid (C).
Use a small pin to probe the harness side of
the connector and connect to ground. If the
shift lever:
Releases from Park, the solenoid and shift
lever are functioning properly.
Does not release from Park: Inspect the
harness between the shift lock solenoid
(B) and BCM/IPM (C) for an open/short
circuit. If OK, go to Step 14.
14. Exchange a BCM/IPM from a known good vehicle and reconnect the connector. If the shift lever
moves out of Park, replace the BCM/IPM.
