40TE Automatic Transaxle
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE / BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK DIAGNOSIS
The Shift Interlock Cable is attached to a lever within the Shifter that prevents the Shift Lever from moving out of "Park" without the key. The Shift Interlock Cable adjustment is preset at the factory. When properly adjusted, the Shift Interlock System prevents the key being removed from the Key Cylinder when the Shift Lever is in a position other than "Park". The Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system prevents the shifter from being moved unless the brake pedal is applied.
NOTE: Investigate and resolve any DTCs prior to starting mechanical diagnosis.
NOTE: It is assumed that the brake pedal is depressed a minimum of 1/2 inch (12.5mm) for all of the following symptoms.
