External Controls
The transmission shift cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the transmission range selector lever to the automatic transmission. The indicated position of the lever is transferred to the transmission through the cable and down to the manual control lever on the transmission.

The lever has eight positions: P, R, N, D5, D4, 3, 2 and 1.





Base Range Shifter

Brake Shift Interlock System
The shift interlock system prevents shifting the transmission out of the PARK position unless the brake pedal is depressed. The shift interlock system consists of a shift lock actuator mounted on the ignition switch. The actuator is energized when the ignition switch is turned to RUN, locking the transmission range selector lever in the PARK position. When the brake pedal is applied and the Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch activated, the shift lock actuator is deactivated, allowing the selector lever to move out of the PARK position.
