SHIFT LEVER POSITION SENSOR INSTALLATION

INSTALL SHIFT LEVER POSITION SENSOR

Install the shift lever position sensor to the hybrid vehicle transmission assembly.

Tech Tips

Make sure that the manual valve lever shaft has not been rotated prior to installing the park/neutral position switch as the detent spring may become detached from the manual valve lever shaft.

Temporarily install the 2 bolts.

Tech Tips

Tighten the bolts with the neutral alignment mark line aligned with the groove. [*1]

Install a lock washer and the nut.

Torque:

6.9 N*m { 70 kgf*cm, 61 in.*lbf }
Temporarily install the control shaft lever.

Tech Tips

Stake the claws of the nut stopper before fully tightening the nut. [*2]
Turn the control shaft lever counterclockwise until it stops. Next, turn the control shaft lever clockwise 2 notches to set it to N.
Remove the transmission control shaft lever.

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.

  *a Gear Activation Point
  
  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].

Clockwise

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.

*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.

Move the shift lever to N.
Loosen the 2 bolts.
Slightly turn the shift lever position sensor counterclockwise.
Tighten the shift lever position sensor with the 2 bolts.

Torque:

5.4 N*m { 55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf }
Recheck the shift lever position.

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.
INSTALL NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER
1. Install the No. 2 engine under cover with the 4 screws and 2 grommets.
INSTALL FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER BRACE
1. Install the front suspension member brace with the clip and 4 bolts.
