Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The Body Control Module (BCM) provides power to the Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA). When the Body Control Module (BCM) receives a brake pedal applied input, 12 volts are applied to the brake shift interlock solenoid. When the solenoid is energized, the plunger is pulled inward allowing the selector lever to moved from the PARK position.
