Brake Shift Interlock Override - Floor Shift

NOTE: If it is necessary to use the brake shift interlock override procedure to move the selector lever from the PARK position, it is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational. Before driving the vehicle, verify that the brake lights are working.
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 Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (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:

All vehicles 

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
  2. Apply the park brake.
