Shift Lock Solenoid Control Operations

SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID CONTROL OPERATIONS





Type-1





Type-2

When the select lever is in "P" range, the ignition key position is "ON" and depressing the brake pedal cause the electric current to flow to the solenoid. As the shift lock solenoid rod (or the lock plate) is drawn toward the solenoid in this state, it frees the interlock cam (or the detent pin), which then allows the select lever to be shifted from "P" range to any other position.
Even when the select lever is in "P" range, if the ignition key position is "LOCK" or "ACC" or the brake pedal is not depressed, the electric current does not flow to the solenoid.
In this state, the shift lock solenoid rod (or the lock plate) is pushed away from the solenoid by spring force and it obstructs the interlock cam (or the detent pin) movement. Thus the select lever button does not work even when pressed and the select lever shift is prevented.
