PROCEDURE
SECURE VEHICLE
Fully apply the parking brake and chock a wheel.
Make sure to apply the parking brake and chock a wheel before performing this procedure.
If the vehicle is not secure and the shift lever is moved to N, the vehicle may suddenly move, possibly resulting in an accident or serious injury.
INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
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.
Check that the back-up light illuminates and the reverse warning buzzer sounds 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.
