TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
4 Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
CAUTION: Remove the Starter Relay from the IPM. This will prevent the
vehicle from being started in gear.
Install Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333 and the FWD Adapter Cable kit,
Miller tool #8333-1.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIIIt, perform the Shift Lever Position Test with the Transmission
Simulator installed.
When the DRBIIItinstructs you to put the Gear Selector in a particular position,
you must do so using the Simulator tool. The LED for the gear position in question
must be illuminated prior to hitting9enter9on the DRBIIIt.
