DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 01/10/2007

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.

NOTE: Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) symptoms should be identified using the
diagnostic tools that are available. For a list of these tools, an explanation of their uses
and a glossary of common terms, refer to Section 100-04 . Since it is possible any one of
multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be necessary to use a process
of elimination type of diagnostic approach to pinpoint the responsible system. If this is
not the causal system for the symptom, refer back to Section 100-04 for the next likely
system and continue diagnosis.

Brake Shift Interlock Override

NOTE: If it is necessary to use the override procedure to move the selector lever out of the PARK position, it
is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational. Before driving the vehicle, verify
that the brake lights are working.

This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock feature that prevents the selector lever from being
moved out of PARK when the ignition is in the ON position unless the brake pedal is depressed.

If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position when the ignition is in the ON position and
the brake pedal is depressed:

1. Apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key.

2. NOTE: Relief located at the front of the access panel.

Remove the access panel.

3. Using an suitable tool, depress the brake shift interlock override mechanism on the selector lever,
apply the brake, depress the button on the selector lever and move the selector lever into NEUTRAL.
4. Start the vehicle.

5. To install, reverse the procedure.
