Brake and key Interlock System Inspection

S6JB0A5106013

1) Check that selector lever cannot be moved to any 

other range from “P” range position when ignition 
switch key is at ACC position, at LOCK position or it 
is removed from keyhole of ignition switch, or brake 
pedal is not depressed.

2) Shift select lever to “P” range position, release knob 

button and check for the following.
• Ignition key can be turned between LOCK and 

ACC positions back and forth and also it can be 
removed from ignition switch.

• With shift lock solenoid release button (1) pushed 

and ignition key turned to ACC position, selector 
lever can be shifted from “P” range position to any 
other range.

• For LH steering vehicle, remove manual release 

button hole cover (1). With shift lock solenoid 
release button pushed by key or flat end rod and 
ignition key turned to LOCK position, selector 
lever can not be shifted from “P” range position to 
any other range.

• For RH steering vehicle, with shift lock solenoid 

release button (1) pushed and ignition key turned 
to LOCK position, selector lever can not be shifted 
from “P” range position to any other range.

• When ignition switch is turned ON and brake 

pedal is depressed, selector lever can be shifted 
from “P” range position to any other range.

3) With ignition lever shifted to any position other than
