Key Lock Cable Replacement

1993 M/Y 940 series vehicles with automatic transmission will be equipped with a key lock function.


A latching segment is used to prevent movement of the gear selector lever from position P unless the ignition key is in position I or II. The key cannot be turned to position 0 and removed unless the lever is in the P position.




The physical connection between the ignition switch and the gear lever mechanism consists of a cable. (see illustration)

An override function is provided to enable the lever to be shifted from position P if there is no power supply. The ignition key must be in position I or II, and the override button and the release button on the gear lever must be pressed simultaneously.

WARNING:
Caution must be taken when working on SRS equipped cars.
