Brake Shift Interlock Override

Scheme 20

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. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, press into the opening until the manual selector lever can be moved out of PARK position.

Scheme 21

The Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is located on the side of the selector lever.

The TCS transmits a signal to the PCM. The signal from the TCS will cancel O/D and downshift the transaxle from 4th gear to 3rd gear when the selector lever is in the DRIVE position.

The signal of the TCS is used for the following functions

1. As an input signal to the PCM to cancel O/D
2. To illuminate the O/D indicator light on the Instrument Cluster (IC)

The TCS does not have a substitute signal. If the TCS fails, the 3-4 shift cannot be canceled.

Scheme 22

1. The O/D indicator is located in the IC and is colored green.
2. The O/D indicator is actuated by the TCS on the selector lever. It tells the driver that O/D is off.

The O/D indicator also lights to tell the driver that the transaxle control has switched to the emergency operating program or that the transmission fluid temperature is too high.

Scheme 23

1. Allows the driver to move the selector lever from the PARK position, the ignition must be turned to the ON position, brake pedal must be pressed and selector lever release button pressed in.
2. The selector lever button must also be pressed, if the lever is moved from: N and D to 2 and 1. 1, 2, D and N to R and P. R to P.

Brake Shift Interlock Override

Note. If it is necessary to use the override procedure to move the selector lever out of the PARK position, it is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational. Before driving the vehicle, verify that the brake lights are working.

This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock feature that prevents the selector lever from being moved out of PARK when the ignition is in the ON or RUN position unless the brake pedal is pressed.

If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position when the ignition is in the ON position and the brake pedal is pressed

Scheme 26

Scheme 27
