Kharl Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi guys! i had several years with the shift lock system not working properly, some times unlock when i depress the brake pedal; often does nothing and then i have to manually unlock it (pressing the button) but now, i just decide... i wan tot pursuit the problem and fix it! (with your help, of course) i just disassembled the shift lock plastics.. and i used my multimeter to figure it out that there is no voltage at the solenoid when i press depress the break pedal so following back the chain.. i guess I should now test the solenoid relay.. am i right? Where can i locate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithcraft Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 These are old cars. I'm not sure of the wiring, but I would start with the switch on the brake pedal. Maybe it's wired to the brake light switch? SC 1994 Legacy MI 2008 Legacy GT specB 2023 Crosstrek Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC Hi! the brake pedal wiring is ok, there is only one switch, so i guess any info/action the ecu need which involve the brake pedal would come from that switch, and brake light is working, so i assume brake pedal switch is oke.

Smithcraft Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I would maybe start by checking the signal from the switch on the appropriate wires, or from lock out back to the switch. Or convert to a manual transmission. SC 1994 Legacy MI 2008 Legacy GT specB 2023 Crosstrek Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcmaxx Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Worst case.. you could run a new signal wire from the switch to the interlock solenoid. Its not the proper repair. But its a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithcraft Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 That sounds like a plan! SC 1994 Legacy MI 2008 Legacy GT specB 2023 Crosstrek Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
