External Controls

External Controls
The transaxle external controls system consists of the following components:
^ Selector lever cable and bracket
^ Park range switch (part of the gearshift lever)
^ Shift lock actuator
^ Selector lever

The selector lever controls the transaxle gear selection through the selector lever cable. The cable detent and selector lever locking position is controlled by the selector lever knob.

Shift Interlock System
The shift interlock system prevents the selector lever from being moved out of the PARK position. The ignition switch must be in the ON position and the brake pedal depressed to move the selector lever out of the PARK position. The brake pedal position is detected by the brake pedal position (BPP) switch.

The manual override button will mechanically bypass the electronic portion of the shift interlock system and allow the selector lever to be moved out of the PARK position. The manual override button is part of the selector lever assembly.

To override the brake shift interlock, remove the tethered cap on the selector bezel with a small screwdriver. With the brake pedal depressed, insert a small screwdriver into the access hole, press down and pull the selector lever out of PARK.
