Voyager L4-2.4L VIN B (2001)
Shifter A/T: Technical Service Bulletins
A/T - Shift Lever Hard to Move Out of PARK
NUMBER: 21-001-01
GROUP: Transmission
DATE: Feb. 2, 2001
SUBJECT:
Shifter Hard To Move Out Of Park
MODELS:
2001 (RS) Town & Country/Voyager/Caravan
2001 (RG) Chrysler Voyager (International Markets)
DISCUSSION:
The 2001 model minivans are equipped with Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI). Previous minivans did not have this feature. The design of the
BTSI REQUIRES the service brake pedal to be depressed BEFORE attempting to move the shifter lever out of the PARK position.
If the shifter lever is pulled (even applying slight pressure) prior to the service brake pedal being depressed, the shifter lever will not be able to be
removed from the PARK position. If the shifter lever is released and then pulled again while continuing to depress the service brake pedal, the shifter
lever will be able to be removed from the PARK position.
The BTSI is active only when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The transmission/ignition switch interlock prevents the shifter from being moved
from the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
