Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control System (Column Shift)
The automatic transmission shift lock control system is a safety device
that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running.
The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out
of the PARK position. The system consists of the following components:
• | The automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. |
• | The automatic transmission shift lock control switch. |
• | The transmission range switch. |
With the ignition in the ON position, battery positive voltage is supplied
to the automatic transmission shift lock control switch. The circuit continues
through the normally-closed switch to the automatic transmission shift
lock control solenoid. The transmission range switch provides a path to
ground for the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid when in
the PARK position. With the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid
energized the shift lever is mechanically locked in the PARK position.
When the driver presses the brake pedal, the contacts in the automatic
transmission shift lock control switch open, de-energizing the automatic
transmission shift lock control solenoid. This allows the shift lever to
move from the PARK position.
Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control System (Console Shift)
The automatic transmission shift lock control system is a safety device
that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running.
The drive must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out
of PARK position. The system consists of the following components:
• | The automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. |
• | The automatic transmission park lock solenoid. |
• | The automatic transmission shift lock control switch. |
• | The transmission range switch. |
With the ignition in the ON position, battery positive voltage is supplied
to the automatic transmission shift lock control switch. The circuit continues
through the normally-closed switch to the automatic transmission shift
lock control solenoid. The transmission range switch provides a path
to ground for the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid in
the PARK position. With the automatic transmission shift lock control
solenoid energized the shift lever is mechanically locked in the PARK
position. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the contacts in the
automatic transmission shift lock control switch open, de-energizing the
automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. This allows the shift
lever to move from the PARK position.
Park Lock Control System (Console Shift)
The park lock control system is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent
shift out of PARK when the ignition is OFF. The system consists of the following
components:
• | The automatic transmission park lock solenoid. |
• | The transmission range switch. |
With the ignition in the OFF position, the park lock solenoid is de-energized.
This mechanically locks the shift lever in the PARK position. When the ignition
in the ON position, battery positive voltage is supplied to the park lock
control solenoid. The transmission range switch provides a path to ground
in the PARK position. This energizes the park lock solenoid and releases
the mechanical lock.
