Starter Interlock

Starter Interlock

The engine will only start in position P or N. The CAS module evaluates two signals from the transmission control module to activate the starter:

- The gearbox P or N position (CAN signal)
- Position P over the hardware line from the P position sensors

The engine can still be started in position P in the event of a CAN signal fault. The engine can not be started if the emergency release is operated (not in P position). In addition to evaluating these two signals when the ignition is switched "OFF", the transmission always rests in "hydraulic neutral" so the gearbox will not transfer power during an engine start.
