SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM
With ignition on, when brake pedal is depressed, an input signal is sent from brakelight switch to the ECU. With shift lever in Park, an input signal from shift control switch is input to ECU, indicating shift lever is in Park. The ECU then operates shift lock solenoid, so shift lever can be moved from Park.
