ADJUSTMENT
1. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
(a) When shifting from P to R position only with ignition
switch ON and brake pedal, make sure that the
shifting lever moves smoothly and can be
moderately operated.
(b) When starting engine, make sure that the vehicle
moves forward when shifting from N to D position
and moves rearward when shifting to R position.
2. ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION
(a) Loosen the nut on the control shaft lever.
(b) Push the control shaft fully downward.
(c) Return the control shaft lever 2 notches to the N
position.
(d) While pushing the control cable end up with the shift
lever in the N position, install it to the control shaft
lever with the nut.
Torque: 13 N*m (132.6 kgf*cm, 9.5 ft.*lbf)
NOTICE:
• If the control cable end is excessively pushed
up, the shift lever can not be adjusted.
• When tightening the nut, confirm that the
control cable is properly stretched.

Confirm that the spring in the shift cable outer has
moved to the position (FIG.3) shown in the
illustration.
Confirm that the shift cable is installed on the shift
lever plate properly.
NOTICE:
• To prevent torsion of the inner cable, the
projection on the eye end should face rear.
• Push the cable end to the bottom of the pin.
(d) Install the transmission control cable assembly and
2 nuts.

DTC CHECK / CLEAR
1. DTC CHECK (NORMAL MODE)
NOTICE:
When the diagnostic system is switched from the
normal mode to the check mode, all the DTCs and
freeze frame data recorded in the normal mode will
be erased. So before switching modes, always check
the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note them
down.
(a) Checking DTCs using the OBD II scan tool or
intelligent tester.
(1) Turn the ignition switch off.
(2) Connect the intelligent tester together with the
CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and
turn the OBD II scan tool or the intelligent tester
main switch on.
(4) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED
OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES".
(5) Use the OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester to
check the DTCs and freeze frame data and note
them down (For operating instructions, see the
OBD II scan tool's instruction book).
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II
scan tool (excluding intelligent tester) to
check the DTCs, use the normal mode. For
codes on the DTCs chart which are subject
to "2 trip detection logic",
Turn the ignition switch off after the symptom is
simulated once. Then repeat the simulation
process again. When the problem has been
simulated twice, the MIL illuminates and the
DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
2. DTC CLEAR
(a) When using the OBD II scan tool or intelligent
tester: Clearing the DTCs.
(1) Connect the intelligent tester together with the
CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle
interface module) to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and
turn the OBD II scan tool or the intelligent tester
main switch on.
(3) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED
OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES [YES]
button".
HINT:
When operating the OBD II scan tool (complying
with SAE J1978) or intelligent tester to erase the
codes, the DTCs and freeze frame data will be
erased. (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction
book for operating instructions.)
