Shift Cable: Testing and Inspection
MANUAL CONTROL CABLEProper manual control linkage adjustment can be determined by checking whether transaxle range switch is performing well.
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" position is correct.
5. Then slowly move the selector lever to the "N" range by the same procedure as in the foregoing paragraph.
If starter motor operates when the selector lever fit in "N" position is correct.
6. Check to be sure that the selector lever can be shifted to each position (by button operation as shown in the illustration). Also, check to see that the position indicator is correct at each position.
7. The manual-control cable is properly adjusted if, as described above, the starter motor starts at both the "P" range and the "N" range.
8. Start the engine. Check to see if the vehicle moves forward when the selector lever is shifted from "N" to "D", and moves backward when shifted to "R".
