GEAR SELECTOR LEVER INTERLOCK
The interlock solenoid on the selector lever is de-energized unless the foot brake is applied while the ignition is on. While de-energized, the interlock solenoid allows the selector lever to move through the range unless P is selected. On entering the P position, the interlock solenoid engages a latch which locks the selector lever. When the ignition is on and the foot brake is applied, the Body Control Unit (BCU) energizes the interlock solenoid, which disengages the latch and allows the selector lever to be moved out of P.
