INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION SENSOR POSITION

Apply the parking brake.
Lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.
Turn the power switch on (READY).
Move the shift lever to D and release the brake.

Note

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

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

*a	Gear Activation Point
*b	N Position
*c	R Position
*d	D Position

Note

Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.

Move the shift lever to R and release the brake.

Note

Be sure to apply the parking brake and lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.
Slowly move the shift lever to N and measure 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].

ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION SENSOR POSITION
1. If moving distance (A) is shorter than (B).[*1]
  1. Move the shift lever to N.
  2. Loosen the 2 bolts.
  3. Slightly turn the shift lever position sensor counterclockwise.
    
    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.
  4. Tighten the 2 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.
    
    Torque:
    
    13 N*m { 133 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }
  5. Recheck the shift lever position sensor.
2. If moving distance (B) is shorter than (A) [*2]
  1. Move the shift lever to N.
  2. Loosen the 2 bolts.
  3. Slightly turn the shift lever position sensor clockwise.
    
    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.

  5. Recheck the shift lever position sensor.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
1. While moving the shift lever from the N position 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. Put the vehicle into the READY-on state and check the following:
  1. When the shift lever is moved to the D position, the vehicle moves forward.
  2. When the shift lever is moved to the R position, the vehicle moves in reverse.
    
    Note
    
    The vehicle should not move when the shift position indicator is off.
