porarily tighten control cable nut (A).
5. Tighten control cable nut (A) to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Secure manual selector when tightening nut.
6. Move shift selector from “P” to "1" position again. Make sure that shift selector moves smoothly.
7. Check A/T position. Refer to AT-217, "
Checking of A/T Position".
8. Install air duct assembly. Refer to EM-135
.
Checking of A/T PositionINFOID:0000000005928276
