Service Procedure
- Inspect the function of the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI).
- Using a plastic trim tool, remove the front floor console transmission shift opening bezel ((1) Malibu (2) Volt) and pull up the shift boot to gain access to the BTSI.
- With the ignition on, check the function of the BTSI by pressing down and releasing the brake pedal multiple times. The BTSI should travel from resting (1) to fully open (2).
- If the BTSI functions properly, no further action is required.
- If the BTSI binds or does not travel fully, continue to step 4.
- Remove the transmission control. Refer to Transmission Control Replacement (Without Base) in SI.
- Install the transmission control. Refer to Transmission Control Replacement (Without Base) in SI.
