AJ27/3.2L NA V8 - AJ26 - Brake Shift Interlock Ac tuator Manual Override
General Procedures



1. To override the gearshift interlock:
1. Unscrew the release catch blanking plug.
2. Insert the ignition key into the aperture, depress the release catch and simultan eously move the gear
selector lever from the Park position. The lever will
only move approximately 25 mm with the key
inserted.
3. Remove the ignition key and replace the blanking plug.

Selector lever:
Gear selector positions are:
P Transmission mechanically locked, starting available * R Reverse gear N Neutral gear, no power to the rear wheels (starting available) D Drive gear, all 5 forward gears available (see Performance Mode Pushbutton) 4 Upshift to 4th gear only 3 Upshift to 3rd gear only 2 Upshift to 2nd gear only
Gearshift Interlock Manual Override*
The interlock system which locks the sele ctor in P and prevents the ignition key from being removed except when P is
selected, may be manually overridden in the event of an emergency.
1. 1. With the parking brake applied
2. 2. Remove the access blank using a suitable Torx bit
3. 3. Insert a small screwdriver into the vacated hole
4. 4. Push the screwdriver downwards, gently, and hold whilst simultaneously moving the selector from P towards R ,
but do not engage R until the tool has been removed
5. 5. An audible warning may be heard when operation 4 is carried out
6. 6. With the selector in N and the access bl ank replaced, the vehicle may be started
Range Selection
The selector lever transmits operator demand to the transmission and TCM by means of a cable and Dual-Linear
Switch (DLS).
The lever operates the transmission assemb ly selector shaft, only for P R N D , by means of a cable. Movement of the
lever across the gate to 4, 3 and 2 positions disengages th e cable from the selector lever and engages the DLS which
controls gear selection electronically.
Gear selector module:
Provides illumination of the decal relevant to the gear sele cted. This information is provided by CAN from the TCM. Illuminates the security system Active LED on the gear selector surround, in response to an output from the BPM.

General Procedures



1. To override the gearshift interlock:
1. Unscrew the release catch blanking plug.
2. Insert the ignition key into the aperture, depress the release catch and simultan eously move the gear
selector lever from the Park position. The lever will

3. Remove the ignition key and replace the blanking plug.

Align the drive peg and lower sliding block of the switch to
the mating components of the selector mechanism.

2. Install the four screws, bu t do not fully tighten.
Remove the Ty-Strap from the dual linear switch.
Use the manual release and repo sition the selector to 'N'
for installation of the selector cable.

3. Connect the electrical connector to the linear switch.

4. Assemble the cable to the gear shift assembly.
1. Locate the outer cable and fit the inner cable to the gear selector arm. Tighten to 22-28 Nm.
2. Position the abutment nuts to the approximate position, but do not tighten.
5. NOTE: When setting the selector cable, ensure that the
selector lever on the transmission ca sing is still in the 'N' position.

Adjust the selector cable from inside the vehicle.
1. Confirm that the selector lever is in the 'N' position.
2. Adjust the nuts to lock against the bracket without

Fuel System - General Information - Fuel System Pre

Gen
eral Procedures
WARNING: Working on the fuel system re sults in fuel and fuel vapor being present in the atmosphere. Fuel vapor is
extremely flammable, hence great care must be taken whilst working on the fuel system. Adhere strictly to the following
precautions:
D
o not smoke in the work area
Di

splay
NO SMOKING signs around the work area
D
isconnect the battery before
working on the fuel system
Av
oid sparks
Make sure sui

table fire ex
tinguishers are at hand
Make sure absor
bent material is at
hand to soak up any spillage
Make sure the work area is
well ventilated
M

ake sure that the gauge is correctly conn
ected, and that all connections are secure BEFORE starting the engine
DO N
OT
disconnect the gauge from the schrader valve while the engine is running
Make su
re the schrader valve reseals once the gauge is disconnected
• NOTE: Depending on the design of the ga uge set, there may be a drain valve and tube. Make sure this valve is closed, and
the drain tube placed in a suitable container BEFORE connecting the gauge to the schrader valve.


1. Make sure the vehi
cle is in
Park for vehicles with automatic
transmission, Neutral for vehicles with manual transmission.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Place suitable absorbent material around the schrader valve to
absorb any spillage when connecting the gauge set.
4. Remove the protective cap from the schrader valve.
5. Connect the gauge, using adaptors if required.
6. Remove the absorbent material and dispose of safely.
7. Disconnect and plug the vacuum hose from the pressure
regulator.
8. Start the engine and record the fuel pressure reading.
As a gui
de, the fuel pressu
re should be approximately 3.0
bar (44.1 psi) with the regulator disconnected.
9. With the engine still running, reconnect the vacuum hose to
the pressure regulator an d record the reading.
Th
e pressure should dr
op to approximately 2.6 bar (38
psi) when the vacuum hose is reconnected.
10. Switch off the engine.
11. Place more absorbent material around the schrader valve.
12. Where fitted, open the drain valve and allow the fuel from the
gauge and line to flow into the container to depressurize the
system.
13. Disconnect and remove the gauge set and any adaptors.
14. Clean up any fuel which may have been spilt and remove the
absorbent material. Dispose of safely.
15. Refit and secure the protective cap to the schrader valve.
16. Reconnect the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose.
17. Start the engine and make sure there are no leaks.
