SELECTOR LEVER AND GEAR POSITIONS

Scheme 96

Shift-lock

Shift-lock means that the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition key turned to position ON before the selector lever can be moved from the P position.

Anti-theft/Starter motor interlock function

The ignition key must be inserted in the ignition and turned to position OFF before the selector lever can be moved from the P position.

Gear position detent function

The release button on the selector lever must be kept depressed to be able to move the lever between the various positions (PRND321).

Shift-lock function

When the shift-lock function is operative, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition switch turned to the ON position before the selector lever can be moved out of position P. This function is accomplished by means of a microswitch and a solenoid.

The microswitch is actuated by a cam on the selector lever and is closed only when the selector lever is in position P.

The solenoid blocks the selector lever's segment mechanically if it is not activated.

With the ignition switch in position ON and the brake pedal depressed (brake light switch closed), the solenoid is supplied with power via the microswitch (selector lever in position P). The solenoid is activated and the detent for the selector lever segment is released. The solenoid is grounded to grounding point G42, whereby the selector lever can be moved from the P position.

Scheme 97

To disable the SHIFT-LOCK function in the event of power loss, proceed as follows

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Depress the oblong button at the side of the selector lever to release the SHIFT-LOCK function.

When this function is operative, the ignition key must be inserted in the ignition switch and turned at least to the OFF position before it will be possible to move the selector lever out of position P.

The interlock function consists of the ignition switch, a locking pin and a mechanical cable connecting these components.

When the selector lever is in position P and the ignition switch is in the OFF position, the cable pulls the locking pin into a tooth space to lock the selector lever in position P.

Gear position detent

A catch on the selector lever must be activated before it will be possible to move the lever between the different positions (PRND321).

This function consists of a catch, a locking pin and a rod which connects these components. The locking pin blocks the lever in the different positions and when the catch is activated the selector lever is released from the locking segment and can then be moved to the desired position.

Scheme 98

Selector lever position sensor - gear engaged

The selector lever position sensor is mounted in the transmission casing. It contains the reversing light switch, starting interlock switch and switches which tell the control module which gear is engaged.

The selector lever position sensor is a position switch that is supplied with current via the +15 circuit. A number of slip contacts supply the sensor's outputs with current. Combinations of the A, B, C and PA terminals correspond to the current selector lever position (see SELECTOR LEVER POSITIONS ). The slip contacts may be either closed (=ON) or open (=OFF).

SELECTOR LEVER POSITIONS

The following table describes the relationship between the selector lever position sensor's internal terminals A, B, C and PA, the pins in connector H10-1 and the control module.

SELECTOR LEVER POSITION SENSOR'S INTERNAL TERMINALS PINS AND CONTROL MODULE RELATIONSHIP

To ensure that the control module receives accurate information, it is important for the sensor to be correctly adjusted. Special tool 87 92 467 should be used for adjusting the sensor.

Selector Lever position sensor - starting interlock switch

On cars with automatic transmission, the starting interlock switch (77) is integrated with the selector lever position sensor.

The switch (77) pins 1 and 5 are used to control stater relay.

Switch Pin 1 in supplied with B+ is fed Via the starter relay to TWICE, which grounds the input if the criteria have been fulfilled (correct key).

In all other gear position the switch is open, i.e. the starter relay is not supplied with current.
