Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Adjustments
PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
1. Move the selector lever to the N position.
2. Loosen the adjusting nut of the control cable.
3. Gently pull the end of the transmission control cable in the direction of the arrow and tighten the adjusting nut to the specified torque.
4. Check that the selector lever is in the N position.
5. Check that each range on the transmission side operates and functions correctly for each position of the selector lever.
CONTROL CABLE
It is possible to confirm whether control cable is properly adjusted by checking whether the park/neutral position switch is performing well.
1. Apply the parking and service brakes fully.
2. Set the selector lever to the R position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the START position.
4. Slowly move the selector lever upward until it clicks as it fits into the notch of the P position. If the starter motor operates when the lever makes a
click, P position is correct.
5. Then slowly move the selector lever to the N position by the same procedure as in the preceding paragraph. If the starter motor operates when the
selector lever is at the N position, then the N position is correct.
6. Also check that the vehicle doesn't begin to move and the lever doesn't stop between P-R-N-D.
7. The control cable is properly adjusted if, as described above, the starter motor starts in both P range and N range.
