  Q: How to service and repair the Shift Interlock Solenoid for the column shift on Chevrolet Impala?

  A: 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.
