External Controls

The selector lever cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the selector lever to the automatic transmission. The indicated position of the selector lever is transferred to the transmission through the selector lever mechanism, then to the cable and down to the manual control lever located on the transmission.


Brake Shift Interlock System

The brake shift interlock system prevents moving the selector lever from the PARK position until the brake pedal is applied. The brake shift interlock system consists of a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) mounted on top of the steering column. When the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the selector lever is in PARK, the BSIA is energized when the brake pedal is applied. This will allow the selector lever to be moved from the PARK position.


Transmission Control Switch (TCS)

NOTE: On some models the indicator is located on the end of the selector lever and on other models it is located on the instrument panel.

The Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch located on the end of the selector lever.

Pushing the TCS will either disengage or engage the tow/haul function of the transmission. If tow/haul is disengaged, OFF will illuminate on the indicator.
