Shift Lock Solenoid Control
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 43 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW M3, and 2005 BMW 330xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The shift lock feature prevents the unintentional movement of the shifter from Park or Neutral. When KL 15 is switched on, the shift lock is engaged, when the brake pedal is pressed, the GS 20 releases the ground control circuit of the shift lock solenoid unlocking the shift gate. Additionally, above 2500 RPM, the selector lever remains locked in Park even if the brake pedal is applied. See Fig 1 .
