Transmission Range Switch Test: Installation

Transmission Range Switch
1. Make sure the selector control shaft is in the N position. If necessary, move the selector control shaft to the N position.
  NOTE: Do not use the selector control shaft to adjust the shift position. If the selector control shaft tips are squeezed together it will cause a faulty signal or position due to play between the selector control shaft and switch.

4. Check that the back-up lights come on when the shift lever is in R.
5. Raise the vehicle on a lift, and make sure it is securely supported.
6. Start the engine, and check the shift lever operation.
