### Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control System

The automatic transmission shift lock control is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the ignition is ON. The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out of the PARK position. The system consist of the following components:

• | The automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid.

• | The automatic transmission shift lock control switch.

• | The Transmission Range Switch.

With the ignition in the ON position battery positive voltage is supplied to the automatic transmission shift lock control switch. The circuit continues through the normally-closed switch to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. The transmission range switch grounds the neutral safety signal circuit in the PARK position. This energizes the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid, locking the shift linkage in the PARK position. When the driver presses the brake pedal the contacts in the automatic transmission shift lock control switch open, This causes the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid to release. This allows the shift lever to move from the PARK position.
