Transmission Position Sensor/Switch: Adjustments

PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH AND CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH
1. Move the selector lever to the N position.
2. Loosen the adjusting nut of the control cable.





3. Loosen the park/neutral position switch mounting bolt.
4. Adjust by turning the park/neutral position switch so that the bosses for aligning the N position on the park/neutral position switch are aligned with the N position adjustment lever.
5. Tighten the park/neutral position switch mounting bolt to the specified torque.





6. Gently pull the end of the transmission control cable in the direction of the arrow and tighten the adjusting nut to the specified torque.
7. Check that the selector lever is in the N position.
8. Check that each range on the transmission side operates and functions correctly for each position of the selector lever.

CONTROL CABLE
It is possible to confirm whether control cable is properly adjusted by checking whether the park/neutral position switch is performing well.

1. Apply the parking and service brakes fully.
2. Set the selector lever to the R position.
3. Turn the ignition key to the START position.
4. Slowly move the selector lever upward until it clicks as it fits into the notch of the P position. 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 position by the same procedure as in the preceding paragraph. If the starter motor operates when the selector lever is at the N position, then the N position is correct.
6. Also check that the vehicle doesn't begin to move and the lever doesn't stop between P-R-N-D.
7. The control cable is properly adjusted if, as described above, the starter motor starts in both P range and N range.
