Troubleshooting Hints - Brake Transaxle Shift Interlock

PERFORM BEFORE BEGINNING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

This is done by depressing the white tab on the ATC with the Ignition Switch in the "OFF" position or with the brake pedal depressed. The Ignition Lock Solenoid can be overridden with the use of an access hole in the bottom side of the lower steering column cover.
