Overview

The transaxle selector lever linkage consists of

  1. a selector lever cable that connects the transaxle manual control lever to the selector lever assembly.
  2. a BSIA that is integral to the selector lever assembly.
  3. a SelectShift ™ switch that allows the driver to have control over transmission shifting by manually selecting which gear to operate in.

The selector lever assembly

  1. locks the transaxle selector lever in the PARK position when the igntion switch is in the LOCK position.
  2. requires the transaxle selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the igntion switch to the LOCK position.

Brake Shift Interlock Operation

When the ignition switch is in RUN/START, the solenoid inhibits the selector lever movement (from the PARK position) if the brake pedal is not pressed.

The BSIA inhibits the selector lever movement from the PARK position by mechanically blocking the detent pawl of the selector lever mechanism. When the brake pedal is applied with the ignition key in the RUN/START position and the transmission in PARK, the BSIA is energized by the BCM, this allows the selector lever to be moved out of the PARK position.

Proper Operation Requirements

Three requirements for the selector lever to be moved from the PARK position are

  1. Ignition switch in the RUN/START position
  2. TR sensor in the PARK position
  3. BPP switch closed (brakes applied - brake lamps on)

Scheme 92

Scheme 92: SelectShift

When the selector lever is moved to the M position, the driver can shift the transaxle manually using the SelectShift ™ switch mounted on the selector lever knob. By pressing plus (+) on the toggle switch once will shift the transmission to next highest gear. Pressing the minus (-) on the toggle switch will shift the transmission to next lowest gear.

The SelectShift ™ switch is not serviceable. If a new switch is required, install a new selector lever knob. Refer to Selector Lever Knob .

Component Description

The selector lever cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the selector lever to the automatic transmission. The indicated position of the selector lever is transferred to the transmission through the steering column mounted selector lever, or the floor-mounted selector lever, to the selector lever cable and down to the manual control lever on the transmission.
