Octavia Mk2

Emergency release of gearshift mechanism out of position „P“
Emergency release of gearshift mechanism out of position „P“
Selector lever lock solenoid -N110- locks the selector lever in position „P“. The selector lever can only be shifted out of „P“ when ignition on or starting the engine, the brake pedal is actuated and the button on the selector lever knob is pressed.
If there are faults in the voltage supply to the selector lever lock solenoid (battery discharged or fuse defective) or in case of defective solenoids, the selector lever cannot be moved out of the position „P“, i.e the vehicle cannot be moved because the parking position is engaged.
If this is the case:
–  Test fuses → Current flow diagrams, Electrical fault finding and Fitting locations.
–  Check the battery voltage → Electrical System; Rep. gr.27.
If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the position „P“ despite the troubleshooting, the emergency release of the solenoids can be performed. If the selector lever is then shifted again into the position „P“, it is blocked again in the position „P“.
