KEY INTERLOCK SYSTEM STRUCTURE

Structure

• The key interlock system consists of the P position switch (built-in selector lever component), key interlock solenoid, and steering lock.

Operation

Position other than Park (key interlock operates)

• The key interlock solenoid is energized when the selector lever is any position other than the P position. When the key interlock solenoid is energized, it pulls the solenoid slider, moving the stopper in the steering lock to contact the cam. Due to this, the key cannot be turned to the LOCK position.

Park position (key interlock does not operate)

• The key interlock solenoid is not energized when the selector lever is in the P position. The key interlock solenoid slider is pushed by the return spring, releasing the stopper in the steering lock from the cam. Due to this, the key can be turned to the LOCK position.
