Shift Interlock: Testing and Inspection

Procedure For Checking For Correct Shift Lock Installation






1. When the brake pedal is not depressed, the push button of the shift lever in the "P" position cannot operate (shift lever cannot shift to other positions from "P"). Push button can be operated at other positions except "P".
2. When the brake pedal stroke is 15-25 mm (with shift lever in the "P" position), push button should operate without catching and the shift lever can shift smoothly out of "P".
3. When the brake pedal is not depressed, the shift lever should be shift smoothly to the "P" position from other positions. Brake pedal must operate smoothly without catching in all positions.
4. When the ignition key is at the "LOCK" position, although brake pedal is depressed, the push button should operate.
5. Ignition key must not turn to the "LOCK" position, except when in "P" position.
6. If the shift lever is shifted to the T" position, the ignition key must be able to turn to the "LOCK" position smoothly.

Caution in service
1. Keep the gap of 2-4 mm between the key lock cam and P-lock cam by pulling the shift lock cable in the direction of "E" slightly, and then fix the cable with a nut. After this, be sure to check that the gap is within 2-4mm.

NOTE: If the gap is not maintained between 2 and 4 mm, the brake pedal will have to be depressed more than required in order to shift the lever from "P" to other position.

2. Be sure that the key lock cable slack is eliminated.

NOTE: If slack in the key lock cable is not eliminated, the ignition key cannot be removed from the key cylinder and the shift lever will be able to shift from "P" to other positions, although the key is in the "LOCK" position.

3. Before and after the relating work, the key lock cam and P-lock cam should not be in the same condition as the figure 5 and 6.









NOTE: When the key lock cam and P-lock cam are in the same condition as the figure 5, shifting the shift lever from D, 2, L positions to P, R, N by force may cause a malfunction of related parts. Under the condition in figure 5, shift the shift lever from D, 2, L to P, R, N after rotating the P-lock cam in the direction of "A". Under the condition in figure 6, shift the shift lever from D, 2, L to P, R, N after rotating the P-lock cam in the direction of "A" the depressing the brake pedal.
