Brake Shift Interlock Override - Column Shift

Brake Shift Interlock Override - Column Shift

NOTE: If it is necessary to use the override procedure to move the selector lever out of the PARK position, it is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational. Before driving the vehicle, verify that the brake lights are working.

This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock feature that prevents the selector lever from being moved out of PARK when the ignition is in the ON position until the brake pedal is applied.

If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position when the ignition is in the ON position and the brake pedal is applied:

1. Apply the park brake and turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

2. NOTICE: To prevent damage to the selector lever boot, do not pull out on the top of the boot frame.

Remove the selector lever boot from the steering column shroud by pressing in on the selector lever boot frame.





3. Position the selector lever boot up the selector lever.





4. Turn the steering wheel one-half turn to access the slots on each side of the steering column shroud.

5. Insert a suitable tool into each slot to unsnap and remove the steering column upper shroud. Rotate the upper shroud on its hinges and pull rearward to remove the shroud from its hinges.





6. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Pull back on the brake shift interlock plunger, apply the brake and shift the transmission into neutral.
