When moving the shift lever from P to R with the power switch on (IG) and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that it moves smoothly and correctly into position.
Check that the shift lever does not stop when moving the shift lever from R to P, and check that the shift lever does not stick when moving the shift lever from D to S.
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 moving the shift lever to R.
If the operation cannot be performed as specified, inspect the shift lever position sensor and check the transmission floor shift assembly installation condition.

Turn the power switch off.
Check that the shift lever cannot be moved from P.
Turn the power switch on (READY), depress the brake pedal and check that the shift lever can be moved to other positions.
If the operation cannot be performed as specified, inspect the transmission floor shift assembly and shift lock control unit assembly.
CHECK SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON OPERATION
When operating the shift lever with the shift lock release button pressed, check that the lever can be moved to any position.
If the operation cannot be performed as specified, check the transmission floor shift assembly.
