Shift Lock Solenoid Control

The shift lock feature prevents the unintentional movement of the shifter from Park or Neutral. When KL 15 is switched on, the shift lock is engaged, when the brake pedal is pressed, the GS 20 releases the ground control circuit of the shift lock solenoid unlocking the shift gate. Additionally, above 2500 RPM, the selector lever remains locked in Park even if the brake pedal is applied. See Fig 1 .
