Brake Shift Interlock System

The BSIA (brake shift interlock actuator) inhibits the selector lever movement from the P position by mechanically blocking the detent pawl of the selector lever mechanism. When the brake pedal is pressed ( BPP switch closed) with the ignition key in the RUN/START position and the transmission in P , the BSIA is energized by the BCM , this allows the selector lever to be moved out of the P position.

The brake shift interlock actuator system consists of

1. a BSIA that is integral to the selector lever assembly.
2. an ignition switch.
3. a BPP switch.
