Troubleshooting Hints - Brake Transaxle Shift Interlock

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS:
1. The shift lever should lock in "Park" with the key in the "RUN" position and the brake pedal in the rest position. If the shift lever can be moved from the "Park" position. with the key in the "RUN" position and without depressing the brake pedal. check turn signal operation. If the turn signals do not operate correctly. check fuse # 16 (Turn/Back-Up) to see if it is blown (the turn signal flasher is on the same circuit as BTSI). If the fuse is open. find and repair source of overload. then replace fuse. If the fuse is good (turn signals operate correctly), continue with diagnostics.

2. With the key in the "OFF" position, the shift lever should be able to be moved from the "Park" position without applying the brake. If not, the problem may be with the BTSI solenoid. or the shift linkage itself.
- If the shift linkage is binding, correct this condition first. If the shift linkage does not appear to be binding. continue with BTSI Diagnostics.

3. If the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch needs adjustment or replacement, follow replacement or adjustment procedure.
4. To remove, disconnect. or adjust the BTSI solenoid assembly, refer to Service and Repair.
