Circuit/System Description

The automatic transmission shift lock control system is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running. The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out of the PARK position. The solenoid is grounded at G300. When the brake pedal is pressed, the body control module (BCM) sends a voltage signal to the shift lock control solenoid through the shift lock solenoid control circuit. This signal mechanically unlocks the shift lever allowing the driver to move the shift lever out of the PARK position.
