Shift Lock Solenoid Control Operations
When the selector lever is in "P" range, the ignition key position is "ON" and depressing the brake pedal cause the electric current to flow to the solenoid. As the shift lock solenoid rod (3) (or the lock plate (5)) is drawn toward the solenoid (4) in this state, it frees the interlock cam (2) (or the detent pin (6)), which then allows the select lever (1) to be shifted from "P" range to any other position.
"P" range, if the ignition key position is "LOCK" or "ACC" or the brake pedal is not depressed, the electric current does not flow to the solenoid (4).
In this state, the shift lock solenoid rod (3) (or the lock plate (5)) is pushed away from the solenoid (4) by spring force and it obstructs the interlock cam (2) (or the detent pin (6)) movement. Thus the select lever button does not work even when pressed and the select lever (1) shift is prevented.
