INSTALL PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH 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.
Install the park/neutral position switch to the manual valve lever shaft and temporarily install the adjusting bolt.
Install a new lock washer and the nut.
Turn the control shaft lever LH clockwise until it stops, and then turn it counterclockwise 2 notches to set it to the N position.
Align the groove with the neutral basic line.
Hold the switch in position and tighten the bolt.
Using a screwdriver, bend the tabs of the lock washer.
Connect the parking/neutral position switch connector.
Install the heat insulator with the 2 bolts.
ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION
Move the shift lever to N.
Remove the nut and disconnect the control cable.
Turn the control shaft lever clockwise until it stops, and then turn it counterclockwise 2 notches to set it to the N position.
While holding the control shaft lever slightly toward the R position side, connect the cable with the nut.
INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
When moving the shift lever from P to R with the ignition switch to ON and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and correctly into position.
Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward after moving the shift lever from N to D, and moves in reverse after shifting to R.
If the results are not as specified, inspect the park/ neutral position switch and check the shift lever.
INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch ON.
Depress the brake pedal and check that the engine starts when the shift lever is on N or P, but does not start in other positions.
Check that the back-up light illuminates and the reverse warning buzzer sounds when the shift lever is on R, but do not function in other positions.
