The shift lever is locked in park. I do not hear the "click" of the selonid when I push on the break pedal. What is the problem?

The shift interlock on this vehicle is controlled by a relay and the transmission range sensor

See the guide below on testing relays

Let me know.

The wiring diagram for the interlock system is attached below
