SAT143K
SAT142K
SYMPTOM:
O/D OFF indicator lamp does not come on in TCM self-diag-
nostic procedure even the lamp circuit is good.
DESCRIPTIONNBAT0204S01IPNP switch
The PNP switch assemble includes a transmission range
switch. The transmission range switch detects the selector
position and sends a signal to the TCM.
IOverdrive control switch
Detects the overdrive control switch position (ON or OFF) and
sends a signal to the TCM.
IThrottle position switch
Consists of a wide open throttle position switch and a closed
throttle position switch.
The wide open throttle position switch sends a signal to the
TCM when the throttle valve is open at least 1/2 of the full
throttle position. The closed throttle position switch sends a
signal to the TCM when the throttle valve is fully closed.

DescriptionNBAT0093IThe mechanical key interlock mechanism also operates as a
shift lock:
With the key switch turned to ªONº, the selector lever cannot
be shifted from ªPº (parking) to any other position unless the
brake pedal is depressed.
With the key removed, the selector lever cannot be shifted
from ªPº to any other position.
The key cannot be removed unless the selector lever is placed
in ªPº.
IThe shift lock and key interlock mechanisms are controlled by
the ON-OFF operation of the shift lock solenoid and by the
operation of the rotator and slider located inside the key
cylinder, respectively.

Diagnostic ProcedureNBAT0095SYMPTOM 1:
ISelector lever cannot be moved from ªPº position with key
in ªONº position and brake pedal applied.
ISelector lever can be moved from ªPº position with key in
ªONº position and brake pedal released.
ISelector lever can be moved from ªPº position when key

CAUTION:
IInstall key interlock cable in such a way that it will not be
damaged by sharp bends, twists or interference with adja-
cent parts.
IAfter installing key interlock cable to control device, make
sure that casing cap and bracket are firmly secured in
their positions. If casing cap can be removed with an
external load of less than 39.2 N (4.0 kg, 8.8 lb), replace
key interlock cable with new one.
