Shift Interlock: Description and Operation

Circuit Operation
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is applied through the shift lock relay to the shift lock solenoid by the CB-11 METER fuse. When the brake switch is depressed, the relay is energized through the CB-6 STOP LIGHT fuse with the shift lever in the PARK position. The contacts are then opened, de-energizing the solenoid so that the shift lever can be moved to another position.
