Inspection and Adjustment

INSPECTION

Turn ON the ignition switch with the shift selector at the “P” position.

Press the shift selector button with the brake pedal depressed, and confirm that the shift selector can be moved to positions other than “P”. Also confirm that movement is not allowed from the “P” position to other positions without depressing the brake pedal.

Move the shift selector and check for “excessive effort”, “sticking”, “noise” or “rattle”.

Confirm that the shift selector stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the positions. Check whether or not the actual position the shift selector is in matches the position shown by the transaxle body.

Make sure that the shift selector is moved to all the shift positions in the manner shown.

• (A): Shift selector can operate without pressing the shift selector button.

• (B): Press shift selector button to operate shift selector, while depressing the brake pedal.

When the shift selector button is pressed without applying forward/backward force to the shift selector at “P”, “R”, “N”, “D” or “M” positions, there should be no “sticking” on the shift selector button operation.

Check that the back-up lamps do not illuminate when the shift selector is in the “P” position.

Check that the engine can be started with the shift selector in the “P” and “N” positions only.

Check that the transaxle is locked completely when the shift selector is in the “P” position.
