Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Service and Repair
TRANSAXLE RANGE (TR) SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
When the selector lever is in the position other than "P" or "N", the electrical circuit for starting the engine is kept in the OFF state by the inhibitor
switch. Therefore, the engine does not start even if the ignition switch is turned to the START position. Inhibitor switch is installed on the transaxle
case located at the upper end of the manual control shaft and is interlocked with the manual control lever.
By shifting the selector to the "P" or "N" range, the electrical circuit inside the inhibitor switch is connected to form the ignition circuit with which the
engine can be started. When the shift is in the R range, the backup lamp lights up as backup lamp circuit is energized.
The inhibitor switch, in addition to the start safety device, also includes a circuit for detection of the selector lever position, for sending signals to the
transaxle control module.
ADJUSTMENT
1. Set the select lever to the "N" position.
2. Loosen the control cable (A) to manual control lever flange nut (C) to free the cable and lever (B).
