Brake Shift Interlock Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When the ignition switch is in RUN/START, the solenoid inhibits the selector lever movement (from the PARK position) if the brake pedal is not pressed.

The Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) inhibits the selector lever movement from the PARK position by mechanically blocking the detent pawl of the selector lever mechanism. When the brake pedal is applied with the ignition key in the RUN/START position and the transmission in PARK, the Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) is energized by the Body Control Module (BCM), this allows the selector lever to be moved out of the PARK position.
