Brake Shift Interlock Override - Floor Shift
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. GO to Pinpoint Test A.
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 position until the brake pedal is applied.
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 applied:
- Apply the parking brake. Turn the ignition key to the off position and remove the key.
- Push the brake shift interlock override mechanism on the selector lever forward, apply the brake, press the button on the selector lever and move the selector lever into NEUTRAL.
- Start the vehicle.
- For assembly, reverse the procedure.
