Brake Shift Interlock Override

NOTE: If it is necessary to use the brake shift interlock 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 unless the brake pedal is pressed.
