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.
