PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. SECURE VEHICLE

   
   

   1. Fully apply the parking brake and chock a wheel.

      CAUTION:

      
      

      • Make sure to apply the parking brake and chock a wheel before performing this procedure.

      • If the vehicle is not secure and shift lever is moved to N, the vehicle may suddenly move, possibly resulting in an accident or serious injury.

2. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION

   
   

   1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

   2. Depress the brake pedal and check that the engine starts when the shift lever is in N or P, but does not start in any other position.

   3. Check that the back-up light illuminates only when the shift lever is in R, but does not function in any other position.

      If a malfunction or failure is found, check the park/neutral position switch assembly for continuity.
