9. INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION |
Apply the parking brake.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
Depress the brake pedal and check that the engine starts when the shift lever is set in the N or P position, but does not start in other positions.
Check that the back-up light comes on and the reverse warning buzzer sounds when the shift lever is set in the R position, but the light and buzzer do not operate in other positions. If a failure is found, check the park/neutral position switch for continuity.
10. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION |
When shifting from the P to the R position with the ignition switch on (IG) and brake pedal depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves smoothly and moves correctly into position.
Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting from the N to the D position and moves rearward when shifting to the R position.
If operation cannot be done as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.
