Overview

The transmission selector lever linkage consists of

  1. a selector lever cable that connects the transmission manual control lever to the selector lever assembly.
  2. a Brake shift interlock actuator that is integral to the selector lever assembly.

The selector lever assembly

  1. locks the transmission selector lever in the P position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
  2. requires the transmission selector lever to be in the P position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
  3. has a TCS (grade assist) that is integral to the selector lever knob.

System Operation

This transmission has 5 range positions: P, R, N, D and L (LOW) with a grade assist switch.

Diagnostic Overview

Diagnostics in this article assume a certain skill level and knowledge of Ford-specific diagnostic practices.

REFER to: DIAGNOSTIC METHODS .

Refer to SHIFT INTERLOCK for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) system is controlled by the BCM and is activated when the BCM receives a brake pedal applied input. When the solenoid is energized, the plunger is pulled inward allowing the selector lever to move from the park position.

Refer to SHIFT INTERLOCK for schematic and connector information.

The TCS is a momentary contact switch located on the selector lever knob. Pressing the TCS will engage or disengage the Grade Assist function of the transmission. When Grade Assist is engaged, the Grade Assist icon will illuminate on the IPC .
