Description & Operation

  1. A mechanical control cable prevents ignition key from being removed unless gear selector is in Park. With ignition key removed, gear selector locks in Park. See Fig 1 .
  2. All models are equipped with an electronic shift lock system. Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls shift lock system. This system locks gear selector in Park or Neutral position unless brake pedal is pushed down. TCM uses shift lock control relay to release a solenoid mounted on gear selector assembly.
