Manual Control Cable
MANUAL CONTROL CABLEProper manual control linkage adjustment can be determined by checking whether inhibitor switch is performing correctly.
1. Apply parking and service brakes securely.
2. Place the selector lever in "R" range.
3. Set the ignition key to "ST" position.
4. Slowly move the selector lever upward until it clicks as it fits in the notch of the "P" range. If the starter motor operates when the lever makes a click, "P" range. 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" range by the same procedure as in the foregoing paragraph. If the starter motor operates when the selector lever is in "N", the "N" position is correct and the control cable is correctly adjusted.
6. Also check to be sure that the vehicle doesn't begin to move and the lever doesn't stop between P-R-N-D.
7. The manual-control cable is properly adjusted if (as described above) the starter motor will crank in both the "P". range and "N" range.
