- Remove splash shields from underside of vehicle.
- &cylinder models: Detach front stabilizer bar from stabilizer

links. Swivel stabilizer bar upward.
- Drain ATF from transmission as described earlier.
- Remove exhaust system and exhaust heat shield. See 180
Exhaust System.
- Disconnect driveshaft from transmission and hang to one
side. See
260 Driveshaft.
4 With selector lever in park:
Hold
linkage clamping bolt (A) stationary when loosening
selector lever cable clamping nut
(6).
- Loosen cable clamping nut and remove cable from bracket
(ASS

Automatic shiftlock, checking function (automatic transmission)
The automatic shiftlock uses an electric solenoid to lock the
selector lever in Park or Neutral. Depressing the foot bralte
with the ignition on energizes the solenoid, allowing the lever
to be moved into a drive gear. The solenoid is energized only
when the engine speed is below 2,500 rpm and the vehicle
speed is below
3 mph (5 kph). The solenoid is mounted in the
right side of the selector lever housing.

4 Automatic shiftlock prevents drive gear selection until brake
pedal is depressed.
With engine running and car stopped, place selector lever
in Park or Neutral.
Without depressing bralte pedal, check that selector lever
is
loclted in position (Parlt or Neutral).
Depress brake pedal firmly. Solenoid should click audibly.
Check that selector lever can now be moved out of
Parlt or
Neutral.

lever in Park or Neutral and bralte pedal de-
pressed, raise engine above 2,500
rpm. Check that selec-

Brakes
Troubleshooting
Brake performance is mainly affected by three things:
Q Level and condition of brake fluid
Ability of bralte system to create and maintain pressure
Condition of friction components
Air in bralte fluid will
make the brake pedal feel spongy during
braking
orwill increase the bralte pedal force required to stop.
Fluid contaminated by moisture or dirt can corrode the sys-
tem. lnspect the brake fluid inside the reservoir. If it is dirty or
murky, or is more then two years old, replace fluid.
To
check the function of the master cylinder hold the bralte
pedal down hard with the engine running. If the pedal slowly
falls to the floor, either the master cylinder is leaking internal-
ly, or fluid is leaking externally.
lnspect the rotors for glazing, discoloration and scoring.
Steering wheel vibration while braking at speed is often
caused by warped rotors, but can also be caused by worn
suspension components.
When troubleshooting, keep in mind that tire inflation, wear
and temperature can all have an affect on braking. See
300
Suspension, Steering and Brakes-General for additional
suspension and brake system troubleshooting.
The table Brake system troubleshooting lists symptoms of
brake problems, probable causes, and suggested corrective
actions. Unless noted otherwise, relevant repairs are de-
scribed later in this repair group.
