SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM



STRUCTURE OF SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM




  • Lock lever
  • Shift lock solenoid
  • Shift lock control relay
  • P position detection switch

SHIFT LOCK CIRCUIT






  • Ignition switch: ON
  • P position detection switch: ON (the selector lever is in the P position)
  • Stop lamp switch: ON (brake pedal is depressed)

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION



SHIFT LOCK STATUS




With the shift lock status, the shift lock solenoid is not energised, so when the select operation of the selector lever is attempted, no select operation is possible because the lock lever blocks the lever assembly path.

SHIFT LOCK RELEASE STATUS




When the ignition switch is ON, the selector lever is in the P position, and the brake pedal is depressed, the shift lock solenoid is energised to move the shift lock solenoid toward the direction A shown in the figure. Then the lock lever linked to the shift lock solenoid moves as shown in the figure, and no longer blocks the lever sub assembly path when the select operation is performed, enabling the operation.

RELEASE USING THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON




If the shift lock no longer operates properly due to a dead battery or the like, pressing the shift lock release button enables shift operation from the P position. Pressing the shift lock release button moves the lock lever to the position shown in the figure, enabling shift operation.
