DESCRIPTION
The shift lever that will not move from the "Park" position without using the "Shift Lock Override" key cylinder (located beside the shift lever on the console). This may be caused by a faulty shift lock actuator. To correct this problem, the shift lock actuator has been redesigned. Customer's complaining of this problem should have only the shift lock actuator replaced.
NOTE:
Replacing the entire shift mechanism assembly is not necessary to correct this problem.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Confirm the problem.
2. Set the emergency brake and move the shift lever to the "N" position using the shift lock override key cylinder.
3. Remove the ashtray and console insert tab.
4. Remove the console in an upward direction
NOTE:
Remove the connector for the cigarette lighter to completely remove the console.
5. Turn the ignition "ON".
6. Move the shift lever to the "Park" position and depress the brake pedal while watching the shift lock actuator. Refer to Fig. 1
7. If the actuator does not move the shift lock linkage or moves it only slightly, proceed to step 8. If the actuator does move the shift lock linkage, refer to the workshop manual and BETM for further troubleshooting and repair information.
8. Remove four (4) screws that secure the indicator panel.
9. Lift the panel to see the shift lock actuator.
10. Confirm that the linkage does not bind while moving the linkage manually. Refer to Fig. 2
11. If the linkage does not bind, proceed to step 12. If the linkage does bind, clean and lubricate the linkage.
NOTE:
Take care not to expose electrical connections to water or lubricant while performing this operation.
12. Disconnect the shift lock actuator (H-05) at the front of the console area.
13. Probe the harness side of the connection for correct voltage and continuity values. Refer to the appropriate page of the workshop manual for expected values.
14. Check for voltage at the "P" range switch.
NOTE:
Refer to page K-194 of the workshop manual for 1993 models vehicles.
Refer to page K1-182 of the workshop manual for 1994-95 model vehicles with GF4A-EL and LA4A-EL transmissions.
15. If the connector values are as specified, replace the shift lock actuator. If the values are not as specifies, refer to the workshop manual or BETM for further troubleshooting and repair information. (See NOTE prior to installation of actuator).
16. Install harnesses to the proper positions and install console.
17. Verify repair.
