Broken shift interlock override button ??
Hi guys,
I've just noticed that in my 2004 Toyota Allex (it's basically a corolla frame with all the yaris running gear, same tranny, engine, tyres, EPS, ABS, EBD , BA etc. etc.) the red shift interlock override button that's above the 'P' sign of the gear lever do absolutely nothing. With the engine off, key not in ignition , and brakes not pressed , I can press the button just fine but the gear lever won't move out of park no matter what i do (whilst pressing the red button). The gear lever button itself (the big main one) is in the locked position. All other situations are as normal , if i put the key in acc/start and press the brake then i can move the lever from P to L just fine, and the gearshifts are fine too. Is this something that's potentially gonna be expensive to repair ? Do you know what it could be ? My personal mechanic doesn't know what it could be as even in his old toyota it works without pressing anything or entering the keys , just pressing the little button is fine. Thanks in advance! |

I need some kind of diagram so i can explain to the wrecker if i end up having to replace the "whole thing". It's not the whole transmission though right ? and is it save to drive meanwhile ? I drive about 30 miles a day. If i wait a few weeks or months to save $$$, will it affect the tranny in the long run ? |

The only purpose that serves is to allow the shifter to be moved out of Park without pressing the brake pedal: for example if your battery is dead, you lost your keys, the solenoid breaks, etc. If the rest of the shifter functions normally, then I wouldn't worry about it. The only time I've ever used one was to roll a parked car out of the way when I didn't have the keys for it.

Here is a diagram of the Yaris shifter assembly showing the little lever mechanism of the override.

Thank you crankyoldman and CTscott.
I'll see if anybody here has an idea (or maybe parts) without replacing the whole assembly, otherwise to the wrecker I go. hopefully my battery doesn't go dead anytime soon whilst needing to move the car lol. |
