SHIFT-LOCK SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

BME051830000T01

Outline

• The shift-lock system prevents the selector lever from being shifted out of Park unless the brake pedal is depressed.

• The locked selector lever can be manually released by operating the shift-lock release lever.

Structure

• The shift-lock system consists of the shift-lock relay, brake switch, shift-lock solenoid, transaxle range switch, and selector lever component.

Operation

Shift-lock release conditions

• The shift-lock is released when the transaxle range switch at P position, ignition key is at ON position and the brake pedal is depressed.

Shift-lock (when the shift-lock conditions are not satisfied)

• When the shift-lock conditions are not satisfied, electrical current does not flow to the shift-lock solenoid from the shift-lock relay. The lock lever therefore mechanically restricts the movement of the selector lever, preventing shifts out of P position.

Shift-lock release (when the shift-lock conditions are satisfied)

• When the shift-lock conditions are satisfied, electrical current flows to the shift-lock solenoid from the shift-lock relay. The slider therefore moves toward the shift-lock solenoid and the lock lever moves to a position in which it does not restrict movement of the selector lever, allowing shifts out of P position.

Shift-lock release (when the shift-lock release lever is operated)

• By pushing the shift-lock release lever down, the lock lever is pushed up to a position where it does not restrict movement of the selector lever.
