  5. Remove the transmission range switch (B).
  6. Make sure the selector control shaft is in N. If necessary, move the shift lever from P to N.
    NOTE: Do not use the selector control shaft to adjust the shift position. If the selector control shaft tips are squeezed together it will cause a faulty signal or position due to play between the selector control shaft and the transmission range switch.
