Shift Interlock: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The brake shift interlock system is installed to prevent shifting the transaxle out of the Park position unless the brake pedal is first depressed.

CONSTRUCTION
The system consists of a solenoid assembly attached to the key interlock assembly, a bracket retaining the solenoid, and the necessary wiring.

OPERATION
The solenoid is energized when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, locking the shifter in the Park position. When the brake pedal is depressed and the stop lamp switch is activated, the shift lock solenoid is deactivated and the shifter can be moved out of the Park position.
