Important: The automatic transmission control lever solenoid is a part of the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) system. The solenoid prevents the operator from shifting the automatic transmission control out of the (P) PARK position, unless the brake pedal is depressed.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
