Shift Interlock: Description and Operation

Shift Lock
- As introduced in 1991, the shift lock feature prevents the unintentional movement of the shift lever from Park or Neutral.
- The AGS module controls the operation of the shift lock solenoid. When KL 15 is switched ON, the shift lock is engaged until the brake pedal is depressed.
- The shift lock solenoid's pin engages in the selector lever gate and prevents its movement.




Ignition Switch Interlock
- Since 1993, an additional safety feature has been added known as the ignition switch interlock. The system is a cable that is connected between the selector lever and ignition switch housing. The ignition switch cannot be turned to the lock position for removal until the transmission has been shifted into park.
