Attention! The models described in this manual are equipped with airbags. When working in the cushion area, always turn them off (see chapter 12) to avoid accidental operation that could result in injury. The yellow wire harness running through the console and instrument panel is related to this system. Do not tamper with the airbag wiring or attempt to test it with any test equipment.
Sheathed information
1. Models with automatic transmission are equipped with an interlock system. The system consists of two subsystems: blocking the inclusion and blocking the ignition switch.
2. The ignition lock does not allow you to remove the key from the lock if the selector lever is not in the PARK position. If you insert the key when the selector lever is in a position other than PARK, an electromagnet is activated that prevents the key from being removed until you set the selector lever to the PARK position.
3. The lock-on prevents the selector lever from being moved from PARK to REVERSE or DRIVE unless the brake pedal is depressed. The lever cannot be moved even if the brake pedal is depressed simultaneously with the accelerator pedal. In the event of a system malfunction, the selector lever can be forcibly unlocked by inserting a key into the slot next to the selector lever (emergency lockout switch).
4. The lockout system consists of: selector position sensor, lock actuator, PARK position sensor, brake pedal position sensor, lockout cable and lockout switch. If the lock cable is broken or incorrectly adjusted, go to p. 25-39. The selector position sensor is located on the side of the transmission housing. The procedure for its removal and installation is described in paragraph 6. The engagement lock actuator is located under the center console next to the selector lever. The PARK position sensor is located next to the lock actuator. The method for checking the lock-on system and the selector position sensor is given below in this paragraph. The brake pedal position sensor is located next to the pedal. The procedures for checking it and notably are described in chapter 6. If the emergency release switch is defective, only a service technician can solve this problem.
Examination
5. Below are simple checks for the lockout mechanism and the PARK position sensor. Checking these two elements of the system means that all elements of the ignition lock have been checked, i.e. selector position sensor, lock cable and brake pedal position sensor. If all elements of the test are completed successfully, and the blocking does not work, further testing should be entrusted to the service station specialists.
Switch-on lock mechanism
6. Check the integrity of the MAIN fuses (15 A) and STOP (20 A). Replace fuses if necessary. If the fuses don't blow, check the target from the lockout solenoid to the fuse panel. If the fuses are good, check the actuator solenoid.
7. Remove the center console (see chapter 11).
8. Set the selector lever to the PARK position.
9. Remove the four screws securing the lever position indicator (see fig. 3.2). Raise the indicator.
10. Disconnect the 4-pin connector from the lock-on actuator (pic. 5.10).
11. Measure the voltage at pin 2. With the ignition on and the engine off, battery voltage should be present here. If there is no voltage, check the circuit from the connector to the ignition switch. Use the wiring diagrams at the end to troubleshoot chapter 12.
12. Switch off the ignition. Battery voltage should now be present on terminal 1. If there is no voltage, check the circuit to the STOP fuse (20 A).
13. If voltage is present in both cases, proceed to the next test.
PARK position sensor
14. Remove the center console (see chapter 11).
15. Locate the 2-pin PARK position sensor connector (see fig. 3.3).
16. Pick up thin probes to the connector contacts from the outside and measure the resistance between them. It should not show zero resistance (contacts are closed).
17. Depress the brake pedal and move the selector lever to the reverse position (REVERSE), and then to all other positions. Sensor contacts must be open (ohmmeter shows infinity).
18. Make sure the locking mechanism disengages when the brake pedal is depressed and engages when released.
19. If the check yielded different results, replace the PARK position sensor.
Replacement of system elements
Locking mechanism
20. Remove the center console (see chapter 11).
21. Disconnect the 4-pin connector from the locking mechanism.
22. Turn out bolts of fastening of the mechanism (pic. 5.22).
23. Remove the lock mechanism from the vehicle.
24. Installation is carried out in reverse order.
Ignition key lock cable
25. Remove the center console (see chapter 11).
26. Turn away four screws of fastening of the indicator of position of the selector (see fig. 3.2). Remove the indicator from the console.
27. Loosen the jam nut on the key lock cable sheath (pic. 5.27).
28. Remove cable from bracket.
29. Remove the lower facing of the instrument panel (see chapter 11).
30. Remove the top and bottom steering soot covers (see chapter 10).
31. Turn out the screw of fastening of an arm of a cable under a steering column and remove an arm (pic. 5.31).
32. Disconnect the cable from the lock cylinder.
33. Remove the cable from the car.
34. Install the cable under the steering column, connect to the lock cylinder, secure the cable with a bracket and securely tighten the bracket fastening screw.
35. Establish facing under the panel of devices, and also casings of a steering column.
36. Install the cable to the selector assembly bracket and tighten the locknut.
37. Establish the indicator of position of the selector and securely fasten it with screws.
38. Install the center console (see chapter 11).
39. Pass the selector lever through all positions and make sure that the assembly is assembled correctly.
