Refer to Shift Interlock for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operations and Fault Conditions 

The ignition switch contains a key removal inhibit solenoid. The key removal inhibit solenoid prevents the ignition lock cylinder from being turned to lock and the key removed any time the transmission selector lever is in any position except park. The key removal inhibit solenoid receives voltage at all times from the BCM fuse 28 (15A). When the transmission selector lever is in any gear except park, the selector switch closes, which supplies ground to the solenoid.
