malfunction, shift lever can be released by depressing shift lock override button, located near shift lever. Key
lock system prevents ignition key from being moved from ACC to LOCK position on ignition switch unless
shift lever is in Park.
System consists of brakelight switch, key interlock solenoid, shift lock control switch, shift lock control
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), shift lock solenoid and shift lock release button. All models may not be
equipped with all components. See Fig. 1
.

OPERATION
SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
With ignition on, when brake pedal is depressed, an input signal is sent from brakelight switch to ECU. With
shift lever in Park, an input signal from shift control switch is input to ECU, indicating shift lever is in Park.
ECU then operates shift lock solenoid, so shift lever can be moved from Park.
KEY LOCK SYSTEM
With ignition in ON or ACC position and shift lever in Park, shift lock control switch opens and voltage from
ECU to key interlock solenoid is turned off. When key interlock solenoid is turned off, ignition key can be
turned from ACC to LOCK position on ignition switch.
