  • Patent number: 10690237
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of controlling a system for neutral range parking of a vehicle. The power of the vehicle is turned off based on operation of a start button when a shift range of a vehicle transmission is a P-range. It is determined whether a brake pedal is operated after the power is turned off and, when the brake pedal is determined to be operated after the power is turned off, an automatic lever solenoid valve of the transmission is operated to allow the transmission to shift from the P-range to another shift range by releasing engagement between the automatic lever solenoid valve and an engaging lever.

  • Patent number: 10619733
    Abstract: A shift lever assembly for an automatic transmission vehicle is provided. A moderate feeling experienced by a driver is provided by using magnetic forces of a bullet magnet and a groove magnet when moving a shift lever in a shift direction and in a select direction. Since the bullet magnet and the groove magnet are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance to avoid coming into contact with each other within a range affected by magnetic forces thereof, damage due to wear is prevented and operating noise is reduced significantly.

  • Patent number: 9822871
    Abstract: A fault determination system of a button-type shifter is provided. The system maximally guarantees the operation of a shift button while determining a failure of the shift button and improves reliability and fault diagnosis performance for the shift button. The system includes a base that is installed within a vehicle and includes shift buttons and contact points for each of the shift buttons. A controller receives contact signals from the contact points to thus determine a failure of the shift button when any one of the contact points is not sensed or is stuck when the shift button is engaged.
