qha_vn Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 now the shift lever can not move out of P even if i do step on brake and the brake light is on. I remove the trim and notice that when shifter in P, no brake press, ignition is ON the actuator that releases shift lock intermitently releases and locks immediately. As if we step on brake and release immediately. But when i step on brake, the actuator does not work to release shift lever. I have to use the "shift lock override" all the time i tested the actuator with 12v directly from battery, it still works perfectly. stoplight switch seems okay as the lights are still going on on brake. the last thing i have not touched (test) is the shift lock computer as i dont know how to test it actually can anyone please advise me on how to fix this. thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLexus94 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 This may not be the answer, but you never know. One time I was replacing the ACV valve on my P/S pump, and forgot to disconnect the battery. So when I got the work done, I could not get the shifter out of gear. Sitting up on ramps-big problem. I found that I had a blown fuse or link inside the fuse box high on the drivers side inside the engine. I walked to the Toyota dealer, and got a replacement 15A fuse. Cost $14. But all has been peachy to this day. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarG Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Did you ever fix this? my LS has just started to have the same symptoms. is there anyway to just disable it? The shift lock works intermittently. Usually after 2-3 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_driver Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I unplugged all the jumpers on that panel and replugged them back. None of them were burn out, but my problem very similar to the OP's was solved! Did you ever fix this? my LS has just started to have the same symptoms. is there anyway to just disable it?
