Shift Interlock Systems: Other Mazda Tribute I

SHIFT INTERLOCK ACTUATOR

The brake/shift interlock system consists of an actuator attached to the key interlock assembly and necessary wiring. The shift interlock actuator is energized when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, locking the floor mounted gearshift lever in the Park position. When the brake pedal is depressed, the shift interlock actuator is deactivated and the floor mounted gearshift lever can be moved out of the Park position.

An electronic shift interlock actuator, mounted at base of gearshift lever, locks gearshift lever in Park position until ignition switch is in ON position and brake pedal is depressed.

1. Check for continuity between terminal No. 85 and all other terminals. For terminal identification (Схема №15) If resistance is 5 ohms or less between terminal No. 85 and any other terminal, replace relay. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, continue with test.
2. Using two jumper wires, connect relay terminals No. 86 and 30 directly to the positive battery terminal. Check for voltage at terminal No. 87A. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the relay. If battery voltage is indicated, connect a third jumper wire to terminal No. 85, and ground the jumper wire to a known good ground. Check for voltage at terminal No. 87. If battery voltage is not indicated, replace the relay.
