Systems and methods for locking a control lever are provided. One system includes a locking device having a body configured to couple to a control lever within an aircraft to prevent the control lever from moving. The locking device also includes at least one hole defined through the body. The one hole is configured to receive one of a lock or a tag therein.

Systems and methods for selectively activating operation of one or more vehicle powertrain elements are presented. In one example, a propulsion source of a vehicle is activated in response to a driver moving a shift lever from a first location to a second location. Further, activation of propulsion source may be made contingent on whether or not the vehicle is coupled to an electrical grid.

An actuator of a vehicle is provided, and an actuator according to an embodiment comprises: a DC motor configured to be driven by application of current to change a gear shift stage; a position sensor configured to detect a position of the DC motor; and a controller configured to control the DC motor, wherein the controller comprises a bidirectional switch circuit to control a flow of current to the DC motor, and if a voltage from a position sensor power supply is applied to the position sensor, the bidirectional switch circuit is configured to be operated to drive the DC motor.

An ECU executes a program including: a step of starting up an SBW system if lock release is detected; a step of starting up a timer if setting of a reference location corresponding to a P position has been completed; and a step of stopping the SBW system if a power supply is not turned on until a predetermined time T has elapsed.

A vehicle system includes a vehicle subsystem and a processing circuit. The vehicle subsystem includes a pump. The processing circuit is configured to receive an indication that an operator is attempting to exit a cabin of a vehicle and automatically engage a brake of the vehicle in response to the indication to prevent movement of the vehicle. The vehicle subsystem remains operational while the brake is engaged.

A response vehicle system includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine whether a response vehicle has arrived at a scene and provide a signal to switch the response vehicle from an operational condition to a locked condition at least in response to the vehicle arriving at the scene, thereby preventing undesired operation of the response vehicle.
