Shift Lock Solenoid Control Operations

SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID CONTROL OPERATIONS





When the selector lever is in "P" range, the ignition key position is "ON" and depressing the brake pedal cause the electric current to flow to the solenoid. As the lock plate is drawn toward the solenoid in this state, it frees the detent pin, which then allows the selector lever to be shifted from "P" range to any other position.
Even when the selector lever is in "P" range, if the ignition key position is "LOCK" or "ACC" or the brake pedal is not depressed, the electric current does not flow to the solenoid.
In this state, the lock plate is pushed away from the solenoid by spring force and it obstructs the detent pin movement. Thus the selector lever button does not work even when pressed and the selector lever shift is prevented.
