SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID
When the select lever is in P range, the ignition key position is "ON"
and depressing the brake pedal cause the electric current to flow
to the solenoid. As the lock plate is drawn toward the solenoid in
this state, it frees the detent pin, which then allows the select lever
to be shifted from P range to any other position.
Even when the select lever is in P range, if the ignition key position
is "LOCK" or "ACC" or the brake pedal is not depressed, the electric
current does not flow to the solenoid. In this state, the lock plate is
pushed away from the solenoid by spring force and it obstructs the
detent pin movement. Thus the select lever button does not work
even when pressed and the select lever shift is prevented.
MANUAL RELEASE PROCEDURE FOR SHIFT LOCK SO-
LENOID
Shift lock solenoid can be manually released by following proce-
dure.
1) Remove access hole cover by unfastening screw.
2) Turn ignition key to "ACC" position and move lock plate toward
front side of vehicle by using screw driver or the like until detent
pin becomes free.
3) In this state, selector lever can be moved to any range or posi-
tion regardless of brake pedal operation.
