This system prevents the transmission from being shifted out of Park unless the key is turned On and the brake pedal is pressed. When the vehicle is started, the BTSI is energized, locking the shift lever in Park; pressing the brake pedal de-energizes the solenoid, allowing the shift lever to move to another gear. Models from 2005 and 2006 utilize a cable attached to the ignition switch to ensure the shift lever cannot be moved when the key is turned Off, while later models control this function electrically. For BTSI solenoid replacement, access the solenoid by removing the center shifter console panels, unplug the electrical connector, disconnect the solenoid from the shift lever assembly, and reinstall in reverse order. For BTSI cable replacement, applicable only to 2005 and 2006 models, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, remove the console and steering column covers, ensure the ignition key is off, detach the cable from the shifter base and ignition switch lock cylinder housing, and note the routing of the cable. Replace the end fitting on the ignition switch end of the cable, reinstall using a new fitting, snap the cable housing to its bracket, and check the operation by ensuring the shift lever cannot be moved in Park with the key in Lock and that the key cannot be turned to Lock with the key in Run and the shift lever in Neutral. For BTSI cable adjustment, pull out the adjustment lock tab at the shift lever end, put the shift lever into Park, push in the lock tab, and check the adjustment.
