INSPECTION

1. Check for the starter motor when the ignition switch is at 'START' position and the shift lever at 'P' or 'N' range.
2. Check for the rear lamp when the ignition switch if it does not work properly.
3. Check for the inhibitor switch if it does not work properly.

ADJUSTMENT

1. Set the select lever to the "N" position.
2. Loosen the control cable to manual control lever coupling nut to free the cable and lever.
3. Set the manual control lever to the neutral position.




4. Loosen the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts and then turn the transaxle range switch body so the hole in the end of the manual control lever and the hole (cross section A-A in the figure) in the flange of the transaxle range switch body flange are aligned.
5. Tighten the transaxle range switch body mounting bolts to the specified torque. Make sure at this time that the position of the switch body did not move.

TORQUE :
10~12Nm (1.0 - 1.2kgf.m, 7 - 8lb-ft)




6. Gently pull the transmission control cable in the direction of the arrow, and then tighten the adjusting nut.
