Shift Interlock: Description and Operation

System Outline

The current is applied at all times through the STOP fuse to TERMINAL 2 of the stop light SW. When the ignition SW is turned to ON position, the current from the GAUGE fuse flows to TERMINAL 5 of the shift lock control SW.

Shift Lock Mechanism
With the ignition SW at ON position, when a signal that the brake pedal is depressed (Stop light SW on) and a signal that the shift lever is put in P position (Continuity P SW) is input to the shift lock control SW, the shift lock control SW operates and the current flows from TERMINAL 5 of the shift lock control SW to TERMINAL SLS+ to the shift lock solenoid to TERMINAL SLS of the shift lock control SW to TERMINAL 1 to GROUND. This causes the shift lock solenoid to turn on (Plate stopper disengages) and the shift lever can shift into position other than P position.
