Shift Lock System:

The shift lock system prevents the shift lever from moving to Reverse or D4 from the Park position, unless the brake pedal is depressed and the accelerator is in its rest position.

Note:
. The shift lever cannot be shifted when the brake pedal and the accelerator are stepped on at the same time.
. In case of system malfunction, the shift lever can be released by pushing a key into the release slot near the shift lever.


If you are experiencing problems, particularly in cold weather, check for a faulty automatic transmission gear position switch.

Automatic Transmission Gear Position Switch Replacement:

1. Remove console and disconnect 14-P connector from switch.
2. Remove both console switch mounting nuts.
3. Position switch slider to "Neutral."
4. Move shift lever to "Neutral," then slip switch into position.
5. Attach switch with both nuts.
6. Test switch in Park and Neutral positions of shift lever. Engine should start, when shift lever is in Neutral (anywhere in the range of free play).
7. Connect 14-P connector, clamp harness, and install console
