Range Lock Control

RANGE LOCK CONTROL

This control prevents the select lever from being moved to the R position when the vehicle is running. Thus damage to components such as the reverse clutch is prevented.

When the specified speed is exceeded the TCM turns off the shift lock solenoid for the select lever. Therefore the range lock control works to inhibit operation from N range to R range, preventing the transmission from put into reverse.
