Procedure
86U07B-034
1. Block the wheels and apply the parking brake.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine.
3. Shift the selector lever to R.
4. Firmly depress the foot brake with the left foot, and gently depress the accelerator pedal with the right.
5. When the engine speed no longer increases, quickly read the engine speed and release the ac-
celerator.
Caution
Steps 4 ->• 5 must be done within 5 seconds.
6. Move the selector lever to N and let the engine idle for at least one minute.
Caution
The reason for idling for at least one minute is to cool the ATF and to prevent deterioration
of the fluid.

3. Oil Leakage
Check for oil leakage.
(1) Warm up the ATF.
(2) Apply the parking brake and block the wheels
to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
(3) Shift the selector lever to R range.

3. Remove the screw and move the inhibitor switch
so that the small hole is aligned with the screw hole.
4. Set the alignment by inserting a 2.0 mm (0.079
in) diameter pin through the holes.
5. Loosely tighten the switch mounting bolts, remove
the pin, and reinstall the screw.
6. Tighten the switch mounting bolts to specification.
