The transaxle shift control linkage consists of

1. A shift cable that connects the transaxle range selector lever to the floor shifter assembly.
2. A brake shift interlock actuator that is integral to the floor shifter assembly.

The floor shifter assembly

1. Locks the transaxle range selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
2. Requires the transaxle range selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

SPECIAL TOOL(S) DESCRIPTION 73 III Digital Multimeter 105-R0057 or equivalent Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) with appropriate adapters, or equivalent diagnostic tool

Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom. GO to «SYMPTOM CHART»(/lincoln/zephyr/us-2006-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxletransmission-external-controls__symptom-chart) .

1. A1 TEST THE BRAKE LIGHTS Apply the brake pedal and view the brake lights. Do the brake lights illuminate? Yes : GO to A2. No : REFER to «EXTERIOR LIGHTING»(/lincoln/zephyr/us-2006-2006/remont/exterior-lights/#exterior-lighting) .
2. A2 TEST SHIFT INTERLOCK ACTUATOR POWER CIRCUIT Disconnect: Floor Shifter Harness Connector C3245. Key in ON position. Measure the voltage between floor shifter harness connector C3245-1, vehicle harness side and ground, while applying the brake pedal. Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? Yes : GO to A3. No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
3. A3 TEST SHIFT INTERLOCK ACTUATOR GROUND CIRCUIT Key in OFF position. Measure the resistance between floor shifter harness connector C3245-4, vehicle harness side and ground. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? Yes : INSTALL a new selector lever. Refer to «SELECTOR LEVER»(/lincoln/zephyr/us-2006-2006/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transaxletransmission-external-controls) No : REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
