INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
3. Depress the brake pedal and check that the engine starts when the shift lever is in N or P, but does not start in other positions.
4. Check that the back-up light comes on when the shift lever is moved to R, but the light does not operate in other positions. If the operation cannot be done as specified, check the park/neutral position switch for continuity.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
1. When moving the lever from P to R with the engine switch on (IG) and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and moves correctly into position.
2. Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when moving the lever from N to D and moves rearward when moving the lever to R.
  
  If the operation cannot be performed as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.
ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION
1. Apply the parking brake and move the shift lever to N.
2. Remove the instrument cluster finish panel assembly and center instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly Click here.
3. Disconnect the end of the transmission control cable assembly from the shift lever assembly.
4. Pull out the stopper of the transmission control cable.
  
  Note
  
  Do not remove the stopper. If the stopper is removed, reinstall it to its original position.
5. Rotate the nut counterclockwise approximately 180° and, while holding the nut in that position, disconnect the transmission control cable from the shift lever retainer.
  
  Note
  
  Do not over-rotate the nut as it will come off the internal spring and the transmission control cable will not be reusable.
6. Push the 2 claws together at the top of the transmission control cable lock piece. While holding the 2 claws together, push the 2 lugs on the bottom of the lock piece toward each other and upward to pull out the lock piece.
7. Turn the nut of the transmission control cable 180° counterclockwise. While holding the nut in place, push in the stopper until the stopper clicks twice.
8. Install the outer part of the transmission control cable to the shift lever retainer. Check that the spring is positioned at "A" and push in the stopper.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  If the stopper cannot be pushed in, slightly turn the nut clockwise and then push in the stopper again.
9. Install the cable end to the shift lever assembly.
  Note
  
  Check that the lock piece is pulled up.
  
  Install the cable end all the way to the base of the pin.
10. Push the lock piece into the adjuster case.
  
  Note
  
  Securely press in the lock piece until it locks.
11. After adjusting the shift lever position, check the operation and function of the shift lever. If there is a problem, adjust the position again.
12. Install the instrument cluster finish panel assembly and center instrument cluster finish panel sub- assembly Click here.
