The automatic transmission shift lock control is a park
lock system. The automatic transmission shift lock control system prevents
the vehicle's transaxle from shifting out of PARK unless you depress the brake
pedal fully. When you depress the brake pedal, the automatic transmission
shift lock control electromagnet releases the lock pawl. The released lock
pawl enables the following events to occur:
| • | The shift cable operates. |
When the vehicle requires service, you may override the automatic transmission
shift lock control system by turning the ignition lock OFF. Turning the ignition
lock OFF causes the following events to occur:
| • | The battery voltage removes from the electromagnet. |
| • | The electromagnet is left deenergized. |
