Automatic Transaxle-Transmission External Controls - Transmission Control Switch (TCS): Overview

The transaxle selector lever linkage consists of:

• a selector lever cable that connects the transaxle manual control lever to the selector lever assembly.
• a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) that is integral to the selector lever assembly.
• a Transmission Control Switch (TCS) that is integral to the selector lever knob and turns off the operation of 6th gear.

The selector lever assembly:

• locks the transaxle selector lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
• requires the transaxle selector lever to be in the PARK position to turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
