OUTLINE
The shift lock system prevents the shift lever from being moved to any position other than P, unless the power switch is turned on (IG) and the brake pedal is depressed. This prevents the vehicle from starting off suddenly.
The shift lock system is controlled by the shift lock control ECU, and it has a shift lock function.
The shift lock control ECU has a built-in P detection switch to detect the shift lever position, and receives input signals from the stop light switch assembly and power switch. Upon receiving these signals, the shift lock control ECU turns on the shift lock solenoid assembly in order to release the shift lock.
The shift lock release button, which manually overrides the shift lock mechanism, is used.
A cap is provided on the shift lock cancel button to prevent erroneous operation.
