Park Switch (Column Shift Only)

The park position switch is only used on vehicles which have a gear shift lever on the column. The park position switch is part of the linear shift assembly in the steering column. The scan tool can display the state of the park switch.

OPEN is displayed when the gear shift lever is not in PARK.

CLOSED is displayed when the following conditions exist:
^ The gear shift lever is in the PARK position
^ The gear shift lever is at the normal rest position
^ The park position switch is providing a ground to the instrument cluster for the park switch input

Refer to Steering Wheel and Column for more information on the park switch.
