  11. If the measurement of the selector control shaft end is within the specification, replace the transmission range switch (see TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH REPLACEMENT ). If the measurement is out of the specification, repair the selector control shaft end, and recheck the transmission range switch continuity.
  12. Check the connectors for rust, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary, then connect the connector securely.
  13. Install the transmission range switch cover.
