BTSI Actuator - Column Shift

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Negative (-) battery cable.
2. Disable the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system.
3. Tilt column to "CENTER" position.
4. Electrical Brake Transaxle Shift Interlock (BTSI) actuator (61) from column.
a. Column in "NEUTRAL" position.
b. Pry BTSI actuator (61) from mounting pin on steering column jacket assembly (58) and outer shift cable ball stud on cable shift cam assembly (44).
c. Axial position assurance connector (23) from electrical connector.
^ Electrical connector from BTSI.








5. Adjust Electrical BTSI Actuator (61).
a. Move actuator rod to adjuster block side for leverage.
b. Press on adjuster block to compress internal adjuster spring and disengage the adjuster teeth. Slide the adjuster block as far away from the solenoid as possible.
d. Replace actuator rod to solenoid side.

INSTALL OR CONNECT

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems. Failure to do so may result in component damage or malfunction of steering column.

1. Electrical BTSI actuator (61) to column.
a. Column in "Neutral" position.
b. BTSI actuator (61) to mounting pin on steering column jacket assembly (58) and outer shift cable ball stud on cable shift cam assembly (44).
c. Electrical connector to BTSI actuator (61).
^ Axial position assurance connector (23) to electrical connector.
2. If all service operation are completed, enable the SIR system.
3. Negative (-) battery cable.
4. Inspect:
^ Function check Electrical BTSI actuator (61) for proper operation.
^ Actuator (61) must lock gearshift lever when ever steering column is in "PARK" position and when trying to shift from "PARK" position without pressing brake pedal. (Solenoid is energized)
^ Actuator (61) must release gearshift lever when pressure is applied to brake pedal. (Solenoid is de-energized)
^ Readjust if needed.
