SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM


Checking of CVT Position

1. Place shift selector in "P" position, and turn ignition switch ON. (Do not start engine.)
2. Make sure shift selector can be shifted to other than "P" position when brake pedal is depressed. Also make sure shift selector can be shifted from "P" position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move the shift selector and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm the shift selector stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the positions. Check that the actual position of the shift selector matches the position shown by the shift position indicator and the manual lever on the transaxle.





5. The method of operating the shift selector to individual positions correctly should be as shown.
- (A): Press shift selector button to operate shift selector, while depressing the brake pedal.
- (B): Press shift selector button to operate shift selector.
- (C): Shift selector can be operated without pressing shift selector button.
6. Confirm the back-up lamps illuminate only when shift selector is placed in the "R" position. Confirm the back-up lamps do not illuminate when the shift selector is pushed toward the "R" position side with the gear position remained in the "P" or "N" position.
7. Confirm the engine can only be started with the shift selector in the "P" and "N" positions.
8. Make sure transaxle is locked completely in "P" position.
