Location

The selector lever shift lock solenoid is located in the selector lever bracket.

When the ignition is switched ON, the selector lever shift lock solenoid is actuated by depressing the brake (signal from the stoplamp switch). This retracts the locking pin so that the selector lever can be moved out of PARK position.

1. If the brake signal should fail due to a malfunction, manual unlocking is possible.
2. The cover of the release mechanism must be removed and a suitable object (ignition key) pressed into the opening until the manual selector lever can be moved out of PARK position.

The O/D switch is located on the side of the selector lever.

The O/D switch transmits a signal to the PCM to select or suppress 4th gear in selector lever DRIVE position.

No substitute signal is available for the O/D switch. If it should fail, it is always possible to shift into 4th gear in selector lever DRIVE position.
