Shift Interlock: Description and Operation

System Outline

When the ignition SW is turned to ON position, the current from the ECU-IG fuse flows to TERMINAL 5 of the shift lock control ECU.

Shift Lock Mechanism
With the ignition SW at ON position, when a signal that the brake pedal is depressed (Stop light SW on) and a signal that the shift lever is put in P position is input to the ECU, the ECU operates and the current flows from TERMINAL 5 of the ECU to TERMINAL SLS+ of the shift lock solenoid to TERMINAL SLS- to TERMINAL 1 of the ECU to GROUND. This causes the shift lock solenoid to turn on (Plate stopper disengages) and the shift lever can shift into position other than P.
