  • Pulse width modulation of brake shift interlock solenoid
    Patent number: 6976569
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for an improved brake shift interlock system which reduces solenoid noise created by vehicle vibrations and solenoid activation. The brake shift interlock system includes a park position switch, a brake sensor, and a control circuit. The method includes the sensing of the park position switch and the brake sensor and generating a pulse width modulated control signal having a varying duty cycle for driving the solenoid when predetermined conditions of the park position switch and brake sensor are sensed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 4, 2003
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2005
    Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Boris L Khaykin, Carrie Porter, Dave John Rutkowski, Keri Przebienda, Thomas Dudley Belanger, Jr.
  • Brake shift Interlock system with a single park position switch
    Patent number: 6817966
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for an improved brake shift interlock system which eliminates the need of a redundant park position switch. The number of components is minimized due to an incorporation of a latch within the brake shift interlock system. The apparatus also eliminates the need of a cam and wiring harness, as well as manual labor traditionally required to install these components.
