SHIFT LEVER ADJUSTMENT

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION

   
   

   1. Apply the parking brake.

   2. Lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

   3. Turn the power switch on (READY).

   4. Move the shift lever to D and release the brake pedal.

      Note

      Be sure to apply the parking brake and lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

   5. Slowly move the shift lever to N and measure the moving distance (A) of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point.

      Note

      Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.

   6. Move the shift lever to R and release the brake pedal.

      Note

      Be sure to apply the parking brake and lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

   7. Slowly move the shift lever to N and measure the moving distance (B) of the shift lever from the original point to the vehicle activation point.

      Note

      Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.

      Check that moving distances (A) and (B) shown in the illustration are almost the same.

      Tech Tips

      
      

      • If moving distances (A) and (B) are almost the same, adjustment of the shift lever position is not necessary.

      • If moving distance (A) is shorter than (B), perform adjustment of the shift lever position [*1].

      • If moving distance (B) is shorter than (A), perform adjustment of the shift lever position [*2].

2. ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION

      Tech Tips

      If the shift lever is moved from R to N, the moving distance of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point becomes longer.

      
      

      1. Move the shift lever to N.

      2. 

         Loosen the 2 bolts.

      3. Slightly turn the shift lever position sensor clockwise.

      4. 

         Tighten the shift lever position sensor with the 2 bolts.

         Torque:

         5.4 N*m  { 55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf }

      5. Recheck the shift lever position.

   2. 

      If moving distance (B) is shorter than (A) [*2]:

      *a	Gear Activation Point
      	Counterclockwise

      Tech Tips

      If the shift lever is moved from D to N, the moving distance of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point becomes longer.

      
      

      1. Move the shift lever to N.

      2. 

         Loosen the 2 bolts.

      3. Slightly turn the shift lever position sensor counterclockwise.

      4. 

         Tighten the shift lever position sensor with the 2 bolts.

         Torque:

         5.4 N*m  { 55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf }

      5. Recheck the shift lever position.

3. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER OPERATION

   
   

   1. While moving the shift lever from N to each position, check that the lever moves smoothly and that the shift position indicator comes on properly according to the shift lever position.

   2. Turn the power switch on (READY) and check the following:

      
      

      1. When the shift lever is moved to D, the vehicle moves forward.

      2. When the shift lever is moved to R, the buzzer sounds and the vehicle moves in reverse.

         Note

         The vehicle should not move when the shift position indicator is off.
