Brake Shift Interlock Override - Column Shift

NOTE: If it is necessary to use the override procedure to move the selector lever out of the PARK position, it is possible that a fuse has blown. GO to PINPOINT TEST A .
This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock feature that prevents the selector lever from being moved out of PARK when the ignition is in the ON position until the brake pedal is applied.

  1. Apply the parking brake. Turn the ignition key to the off position and remove the key.
  2. Tilt and telescope the steering column to the full downward and rearward position.
  3. NOTE: Make sure to use extra care when detaching the selector lever boot clips from steering column shrouds or damage to the selector lever boot may occur causing replacement of the selector lever assembly. The selector lever boot is not serviceable separately.

    Position the selector lever boot aside.

    1. Push forward on the selector lever boot at the area indicated and remove the boot from the upper and lower steering column shrouds.
