Brake Shift Interlock Override - Column Shift

This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock system that prevents moving the selector lever from the PARK position. When the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the brake pedal is applied, the BSIA is energized.

Perform the following if the selector lever cannot be moved from PARK with the ignition switch in RUN and the brake pedal applied:

1. 1.
   
   Apply the park brake. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key.

1. 2.
