but, i do this for a living and have for a long time. it's just not like you actually think it is. what i gave you as an example actually happened today. there is nothing in tech info or the ETM's about what resistance you should read across a good shift lock release solenoid. i called the national tech support center and they also did not have that information. most likely nobody except the manufacturer of that component and the engineering department has that information. and unless a campaign or TSB is issued regarding that part, and that campaign or TSB instructs the technician to test the component before replacing (a generous .3 to rip apart the center console and use your dvom on a connector, a whopping .5 if it needs to be replaced), that information will simply not get out. if someone tests a known good and posts it on the internet, it won't be commonly known. the manufacturer will not make a statement regarding it. not even an aftermarket group will, after they test a known good for making their cheap replacement to sell to NAPA and o'reillies.
you are basing your theories on pure speculation about how you think things 'should' be. what i'm telling you is how it is in the real world.

you wouldn't have information about the whole logic of the system unless you worked on them 10 hours a day and sometimes got a chance to talk to field engineers and manufacturer class leads at their regional buildings. everything is on a need to know basis. even tech support can't answer questions like 'what is the nominal resistance across this shift lock release solenoid'.

believe it or not the engineers thought of these things.
i knew you were a degenerate, corona-chan. but i didn't think you'd stoop to cannibalism.
^ this, but unironically. but also, i'm a racist.

instead of pledging allegiance to the american flag every morning (if they even still do that) schoolchildren should be required to scream nigger for 5 minutes straight every morning.
