DESCRIPTION
Shift interlock system inhibits shift selector lever movement
from "P" to drive ranges unless brake pedal is depressed. Key
interlock system prevents ignition switch turning to LOCK position
unless shift selector lever is in "P" position.

depressed, ensure selector lever cannot be moved from "P" to any other
position. Ensure selector lever button cannot be pushed. With ignition
switch in ACC position, brake pedal depressed and selector lever
button pushed, ensure selector lever can be moved from "P" position to
any other position. Ensure selector lever moves smoothly.
2) Ensure ignition key cannot be turned to LOCK position at
all selector lever positions other than "P". Ensure ignition key turns
smoothly to LOCK position when selector lever is set to "P" and
selector lever button is released. If key interlock system is not as
specified, adjust key interlock cable. See KEY INTERLOCK CABLE under
ADJUSTMENTS.
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
1) With ignition switch in ACC position, brake pedal released
and selector lever button pushed, ensure selector lever cannot be
