The shifter has a solenoid which is actuated by depressing the brake pedal. This prevents shifting out of "Park" without the brake pedal being depressed. To operate the solenoid, the ignition must be in the "On" or "Run" position and the brake pedal must be depressed. The Brake Switch sends a signal to the Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) and the CCN, in turn, energizes the solenoid that moves the Park Lock Lever to allow the driver to shift out of 'Park".
