mickg Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 My 17 year old son has taken over the '94 LS400 for the past 18 months; proud to say that he is taking good care of it - up to 165,000 miles now. The shift interlock solenoid suddenly quit working - the shift lever can move from park through all of the gear positions without the key being turned on, or the brake pedal being depressed. Like the good old days. I note that the solenoid is fused with the ECU and remote door locks. These all function fine. I presume this is just a solenoid replacement?

curiousB Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 maybe just a clean and lube. Could be the solenoid plunger is fouled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickg Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks CuriousB. It started working properly by itself. Must be due for a cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
