10) After completion of fitting, make sure that the selector
lever operates smoothly all across the operating range.
11) Connect the harnesses and check the following items.
(1) The engine starts operating when selector lever is
in position“P”, but not in other positions.
(2) The back-up light is lit when the selector lever is in
position“R”, but not in other positions.
B3M0348A
12) Check selector lever operation.
WARNING:
Stop the engine while checking operation of selector
lever.
(1) Check that selector lever does not move from“N”
to“R”without pushing the button.
(2) Check that selector lever does not move from“R”
to“P”without pushing the button.
(3) Check that selector lever does not move from“P”
to“R”without pushing the button and the brake pedal
depressed. [With ignition key set at“ON”.]
(4) Check that selector lever does not move from“3”to
“2”without pushing the button.
13) Check shift-lock system.
(1) Ensure ignition switch rotates from“ACC”to
“LOCK”when the selector lever is set at“P”. Also check
that ignition key can be removed from the“LOCK”posi-
tion only.
(2) Ensure selector lever moves from“P”to any other
position when the brake pedal is depressed with igni-
tion key set at“ON”or“START”.
