SYSTEM-BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
DESCRIPTION
The Brake Transmission Shifter Interlock (BTSI), is a
solenoid operated system. It consists of a solenoid
permanently mounted on the gearshift cable.
OPERATION
The system locks the shifter into the PARK position. The interlock system is engaged whenever the ignition switch
is in the LOCK or ACCESSORY position. An additional electrically activated feature will prevent shifting out of the
PARK position unless the brake pedal is depressed approximately one-halfan inch. A magnetic holding device in
line with the park lock cable is energized when the ignition is in the RUN position. When the key is in the RUN
position and the brake pedal is depressed, the shifter is unlocked and willmove into any position. The interlock
system also prevents the ignition switch from being turned to the LOCK or ACCESSORY position, unless the shifter
is fully locked into the PARK position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
1. Verify that the key can only be removed in the PARK position.
2. When the shift lever is in PARK And the shift handle pushbutton is in the “OUT” position, the ignition key cylinder
should rotate freely from OFF to LOCK. When the shifter is in any other gear or neutral position, the ignition key
cylinder should not rotate to the LOCK position.
3. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the OFF position.
4. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible while applying normal pushbutton force and ignition key cylinder is
in the RUN or START positions unless the foot brake pedal is depressed approximately 1/2 inch (12mm).
5. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinderisintheACCESSORYorLOCK
positions.
6. Shifting between any gears, NEUTRAL or into PARK may be done without depressing foot brake pedal with
ignition switch in RUN or START positions.
ADJUSTMENTS - BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK
Correct cable adjustment is important to proper interlock operation. Thegearshift cable must be correctly adjusted
in order to shift out of PARK.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove the steering column trim as necessary for
access to the brake transmission shift interlock.
2. Shift the transmission into the PARK position.
3. Pull upward on both the BTSI lock tab (4) and the
gearshift cable lock tab (3).
4. Verify that the shift lever is in the PARK position.
5. Verify positive engagement of the transmission
park lock by attempting to rotate the propeller
shaft. The shaft will not rotate when the park lock is
engaged.
6. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position.Be sure
ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position.
Cable will not adjust correctly in any other
position.
7. Ensure that the cable is free to self-adjust by push-
ing cable rearward and releasing.
8. Push the gearshift cable lock tab (3) down until it snaps in place.
9. Locate the BTSI alignment hole in the bottom of the BTSI mechanism betweentheBTSIlocktabandtheBTSI
connector.
10. Move the BTSI assembly up or down on the gearshift cable until an appropriate size drill bit can be inserted into
the alignment hole and through the assembly.
11. Push the BTSI lock tab (4) down until it snaps into place and remove the drill bit.
12. Install any steering column trim previously removed.
BTSI FUNCTION CHECK
1. Verify removal of ignition key allowed in PARK position only.
2. When the shift lever is in PARK, the ignition key cylinder should rotate freely from off to lock. When the shifter
is in any other position, the ignition key should not rotate from off to lock.
3. Shifting out of PARK should be possible when the ignition key cylinder isin the off position.
4. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible while applying normal force,and ignition key cylinder is in the run
or start positions, unless the foot brake pedal is depressed approximately1/2inch(12mm).
5. Shifting out of PARK should not be possible when the ignition key cylinder is in the accessory or lock position.
6. Shifting between any gear and NEUTRAL, or PARK, may be done without depressing foot brake with ignition
switch in run or start positions.
7. Engine starts must be possible with shifter lever in PARK or NEUTRAL positions only. Engine starts must not be
possible in any position other than PARK or NEUTRAL.
8. With shifter lever in the:
PARK position - Apply upward force on the shift arm and remove pressure. Enginestartsmustbepossible.
PARK position - Apply downward force on the shift arm and remove pressure. Engine starts must be possible.
NEUTRAL position - Normal position. Engine starts must be possible.
NEUTRAL position - Engine running and brakes applied, apply upward force on the shift arm. Transmission
shall not be able to shift from neutral to reverse.

7. Remove any steering column (1) trim necessary to
access the gearshift cable (2) and BTSI mecha-
nism.
8. Disconnect the BTSI wiring connector (5).
9. Disconnect cable at lower column bracket and shift
lever pin and pull the cable through the dash panel
opening into the vehicle.
10. Remove gearshift cable (2) from vehicle.
INSTALLATION

10. Adjust the gearshift cable (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/AUTOMATIC/GEAR SHIFT CABLE - ADJUST-
MENTS) and BTSI mechanism (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/AUTOMATIC/BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT
INTERLOCK SYSTEM - ADJUSTMENTS) as necessary.

ADJUSTMENTS - GEARSHIFT CABLE
Check adjustment by starting the engine in PARK and NEUTRAL. Adjustment isCORRECT if the engine starts only
in these positions. Adjustment is INCORRECT if the engine starts in one butnot both positions. If the engine starts
in any position other than PARK or NEUTRAL, or if the engine will not start atall, the transmission range sensor
may be faulty.
Gearshift Adjustment Procedure
1. Shift transmission into PARK.
2. Release cable adjuster lock tab (3) (underneath the
steering column) to unlock cable.
3. Raise vehicle.
4. Disengage the cable eyelet from the transmission
manual shift lever.
5. Verify transmission shift lever is in PARK detent by
moving lever fully rearward. Last rearward detent is

STATOR
The stator assembly is mounted on a stationary shaft
which is an integral part of the oil pump. The stator (1)
islocatedbetweentheimpeller (2) and the turbine (4)
within the torque converter case.
The stator contains an over-running clutch (1-4), which
allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise direction.
When the stator is locked against the over-running
clutch, the torque multiplication feature of the torque
converter is operational.
