DESCRIPTION
This vehicle uses a tilt-type steering column (Fig.
1). Two styles are available, one is for floor shift vehi-
cles and the other is for column shift vehicles.
The steering column used on this vehicle (Fig. 1),
has been designed to be serviced as an assembly; less
wiring, switches, clockspring, gear shift lever, shift
ignition interlock, brake interlock solenoid (column
shift only), shrouds and steering wheel. These compo-
nents can be serviced without removing the steering
column from the vehicle.
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
SOLENOID
Column shift vehicles have a brake transmission
shift interlock (BTSI) solenoid mounted on the steer-
ing column. The BTSI solenoid works in conjunction
with the brake lamp switch and will not allow the
steering column shift lever to be moved out of the
PARK position without the brake pedal being
applied. For Description And Operation, Diagnosis
And Testing, and Removal And Installation informa-
tion, refer to the Transaxle section in this service
manual.
