ML 430 (163.172) V8-4.3L (113.942) (2000)
Component Illustration
Location
The R/P lock is located in the floor shift.
Task
Prevents unintentional shifts to the selector lever positions "R" and "P" at driving speeds in excess of approx. 10 km/h.
Design
The R/P lock consists of:
The cam (69b) which is rigidly connected to the shift shaft (66)
The lever (69a)
The reverse and parking lock solenoid (Y66/1)
The support lever (69c)
Function
The reverse and parking lock solenoid (Y66/1) is actuated via the ETC control module (N15/3) and moves the lever (69a) in the direction of the cam
(69b) so that the shift shaft (66) is blocked. When de-energized, the support lever (69c) holds the lever (69a) in position to prevent it from engaging by
itself when exposed to severe shocks.
