The electrical control-type shift lock (the shift lever is
locked  in  the  P  position  if  the  brake  pedal  is  not

depressed)  mechanism  has  been  adopted  for  the
selector lever assembly. The functions of each switch
are as follows:

Name

Function

Shift lock release button

Releases forcibly (mechanically) the shift lock.

Shift indicator bulb

Illuminates the shift indicator.

Shift switch assembly

Detects  the  selector  lever  activation  in  the  sport
mode.

Shift lock solenoid

Switches the shift lock mechanism ON/OFF.

Shift lock control relay

Switches the shift lock solenoid power supply circuit
ON/OFF.

P position detection switch

Detects the P position.

Under all of the following conditions, the shift lock solenoid is
energized,  allowing  the  selector  lever  to  move  from  the  P
position to another position.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION

ZC6023610000

Lock lever inhibits  
selecting operation  
of the lever  
sub-assembly.

SHIFT LOCK STATUS
With the shift lock status, the shift lock solenoid is not energized,
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.

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 energized 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

ZC6017720000

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. The shift lock release button can
be operated by removing the cover (arrow-indicated point in the
figure) and pressing it with a flat-tipped screwdriver.Pressing the
shift  lock  release  button  moves  the  lock  lever  to  the  position
shown in the figure, enabling shift operation.

KEY LOCK MECHANISM

M22301000205USA0000010000

When  the  ignition  key  is  in  any  position  the  LOCK
(OFF)  position,  the  selector  lever  cannot  be  shifted
from the P position to another position. Also, when the

selector lever is not in the P position, the ignition key
cannot  be  turned  to  the  LOCK  (OFF)  position  and
pulled out.
