Both ends of the automatic transaxle shift lock actuator need to be detached from their pivot points. First install the automatic transaxle shift lock actuator's ends to their pivot points after which you must attach its electrical connector. Following the procedure you should reinstall the Center Console before reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.

The service process for an automatic transmission shift lock actuator of a column shift needs the removal of steering column trim covers and knee bolster to begin. First disconnect the electrical connector from the automatic shift lock control actuator followed by removing the actuator from the steering column ball studs after extracting the shift lever actuator. The automatic shift lock control actuator should be secured onto the steering column ball studs followed by reconnecting its electrical connector for installation. To install the shift lever actuator the column must be placed in neutral then use the automatic shift lock control adjuster by pulling the tab from the actuator's adjuster block side and compress the internal adjuster spring and disengage adjuster teeth through pressing on the adjuster block and sliding it to the maximum distance before locking by pressing the tab. You need to check the actuator for proper shifting of the shift lever clevis into park position. If you can move the shift lever without pressing the brake pedal you must adjust the actuator. The last step involves reinstalling the steering column trim covers together with the knee bolster.

The first step to fix the Shift Interlock Solenoid requires disabling the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. The automatic transmission shift lock control must be extracted from the steering column jacket assembly by using a screwdriver. You should install the automatic transmission shift lock control onto the steering column jacket assembly while making proper adjustments for it. The shift lever should be installed when it is missing. You need to pull the tab out from the block side of the automatic transmission shift lock control before you position the column in NEUTRAL mode. Push down on the adjuster block while the automatic transmission shift lock control in NEUTRAL to compress the internal adjuster spring. This disengages the adjuster teeth which allows you to move the adjuster block away from the solenoid as far as possible. Press the tab into position to lock the automatic transmission shift lock control while positioning the column at NEUTRAL. Check if the automatic transmission shift lock control activates to lock the gear shift lever when placed in PARK mode. The gear shift lever from the PARK position should remain locked until the brake pedal receives a press which activates the solenoid. After proper adjustment of the system enable the inflatable restraint steering wheel module.

The first step for service or repair of Shift Interlock Solenoid requires the removal of the negative Battery Cable. The service and repair of the Shift Interlock Solenoid requires technicians to first remove the automatic transaxle shift lock actuator electrical connector during the process of disconnecting the Center Console. The automatic transaxle shift lock actuator needs its ends detached from pivot points before servicing. Place first both automatic transaxle shift lock actuator pivot ends in their points before connecting the electrical connector for the automatic transaxle shift lock actuator. The restoration process ends with reinstallation of the Center Console and connection of the negative Battery Cable.

The service process for repairing the Shift Interlock Solenoid starts with disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. The first step includes removing the Center Console while the second step involves disconnecting the shift lock control electric connector from automatic transmission (AT). Take off the pivot ends from both parts of the automatic transmission shift lock control. First install the upper clip of the at shift lock control onto the upper pivot point while mounting the lower clip onto the lower pivot point. First reconnect the electrical connector to the at shift lock control before reinstalling the Center Console as the final step reconnect the negative Battery Cable.

The first step for servicing or repairing the Shift Interlock Solenoid requires disabling the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. The automatic transmission shift lock control needs to be removed from its installed position on the steering column jacket assembly by using a screwdriver. Close the automatic transmission shift lock control by adding it to the steering column jacket assembly before making proper adjustments. The automatic transmission shift lock control must have a shift lever installed before the block side tab is pulled out. The adjuster block belongs in the NEUTRAL position before users push down on the block while extending it away from the solenoid as far as possible. Shift the column into NEUTRAL and apply pressure to re-install the tab to secure the operation. Check the automatic transmission shift lock control for its ability to immobilize the gear shift lever in PARK position. The gear shift lever inside the vehicle needs the brake pedal activation before it can move out of PARK position with help from solenoid energy. To finish the process enable the inflatable restraint steering wheel module after readjusting for necessary corrections.

Service and repair of the Shift Interlock Solenoid requires a first step to disable the SIR system. First disconnect the automatic transmission shift lock control actuator electrical connector while removing the lower steering column trim cover. A small screwdriver releases the automatic transmission shift lock control actuator from the steering column jacket assembly after positioning the shift lever clevis in the neutral position. The automatic transmission shift lock control actuator installation process begins when it is properly fixed onto the steering column jacket assembly followed by reconnecting the electrical connector. To adjust the actuator push the tab on the adjuster block side until it springs open. Then press the adjuster block to unclip its teeth before sliding the block as far as you can from the actuator then secure it using tab pressure. The actuator must lock the shift lever clevis into PARK position successfully while the actuator needs to receive power when both the brake pedal is pressed and ignition switch is in the ON position. Set the actuator to the correct position if required and put the lower steering column trim cover back while activating the SIR system.

Starting the repair of Shift Interlock Solenoid with Column Shift requires knee bolster bracket removal and termination of the automatic shift lock actuator electrical connector. The actuator needs removal from its position on the steering column ball studs. The automatic shift lock control actuator must be assembled onto the steering column ball studs while reconnecting the electrical connector. Adjust the automatic shift lock actuator only when the column remains in neutral position. Users should activate the adjuster block side tab before using their fingers to press on the block which will enable adjusting the teeth to slide the block to the maximum distance from the actuator. Pull the tab to secure the locking mechanism through tab pressure. Verify that the installed actuator secures the shift lever clevis when placed in park position through inspections; trouble with moveable shift lever without brake pedal usage might require actuator readjustment. You should put back the knee bolster bracket as the last step.

The Shift Interlock Solenoid servicing process for column shift requires removal of knee bolster bracket together with shift lever actuator. Plugging off the electrical connector from the automatic shift lock control actuator and pulling out the actuator from the steering column ball studs. After securing the automatic shift lock control actuator with the column ball studs begin reconnecting the electrical connector. You should install the shift lever actuator while positioning the column at neutral. Adjust the automatic shift lock control activator by removing the tab from the adjuster block side of the actuator before compressing the internal adjuster spring with the adjuster block while disengaging the adjuster teeth by sliding the block apart from the actuator before locking in position with the tab. Examine the actuator to confirm its ability to maintain the shift lever clevis secure when the car is in park position; check and reset the actuator if the shift lever moves freely without engaging the brake pedal. The last step includes reinstalling the knee bolster bracket.
