Location - The selector lever shift lock solenoid is located in the selector lever bracket.
When the ignition is switched ON, the selector lever shift lock solenoid is actuated by depressing the brake (signal from the stoplamp switch). This retracts the locking pin so that the selector lever can be moved out of PARK position.
