Ignition Key Lock Solenoid

The solenoid is incorporated in the ignition lock. In manual selector lever position P, the ground connection to the solenoid is cut. The locking pin does not engage in the ignition lock.

In all the other selector lever positions, the ground connection to the solenoid is closed and the locking pin engages in the ignition lock.

When the selector lever is not in position P, removal of the ignition key is prevented.
