Pinpoint Test F : The Ignition Key Can Be Turned To The Off Position When The Selector Lever Is Not In Park: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to Shift Interlock for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The key removal inhibit solenoid (part of the ignition switch) receives battery voltage from BCM fuse 78 (5A). When the selector lever is moved out of the PARK position, the brake shift interlock actuator (part of the selector lever) closes, providing a ground circuit to the key removal inhibit solenoid. The key removal inhibit solenoid activates and prevents the ignition lock cylinder from being turned to the OFF position and the key from being removed.
