The shift lock solenoid must not block the selector lever when the lever is in the "N" position. The selector lever can be moved back into a another gear.

The shift lock solenoid will block the selector lever approximately 1 second after the lever is moved into the "N" position. The selector lever can be moved out of "N" only when the brake pedal is pressed.
