Troubleshooting Hints - Brake Transaxle Shift Interlock

PERFORM BEFORE BEGINNING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
1. If GAGES Fuse #9 is open, refer to Chart #3.
2. Check Brake Switch Assembly for proper adjustment.
3. If Transmission Shifter does not shift out of "PARK," check linkage and cable for binding.
^ Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove 'GOOD" in a continuity/voltage check with a system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded, and if possible, should be checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the system operational (under load).
^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems (refer to "Troubleshooting Procedures"). Diagnostic Aids
