Shift Lock System Operation

SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM OPERATION




The shift lock system has a solenoid-operated plunger (1). With the select lever in the P position, the plunger remains extended, holding the lock arm (2) in its pushed out (locking) position. When the brake pedal is depressed with the ignition switch in either the ON or START position, the solenoid is energized and the plunger is retracted. This causes the lock arm to lift to the select lever release position. The select lever now can be moved to any other position. The P position of the select lever is detected by the inhibitor switch (3).
