If the ignition is turned off and the selector
lever is in “P” position, a signal travels
from the Selector Lever Park Position Lock
Switch F319 to the Access/Start Control
Module J518. The Access/Start Control
Module J518 then sends current to the
Ignition Switch Key Lock Solenoid N376
and the locking pins are released. The
ignition key can then be withdrawn.

In vehicles with an Access/Start
Authorization Button E408, the Access/
Start Control Module J518 signals to the
Control Module with Indicator Unit in
Instrument Panel Insert J285 that the
selector lever is not in “P” position. The
Control Module with Indicator Unit in
Instrument Panel Insert J285 then triggers
a visual and audible warning. The driver is
thus informed that the selector lever is not
in “P” position.

Effects of failure
The electromechanical lock cannot be
released and the key cannot be withdrawn
if the signal from the selector lever to the
Access/Start Control Module J518 or the
signal from the Access/Start Control
Module J518 to the ignition lock fails.
In these circumstances, the ignition
lock has an emergency release for the
ignition key.
