- Ensure engine will start with gearshift lever in "P" or "N" positions only. If engine starts in gear, adjust Transmission Range (TR) sensor. See TRANSMISSION RANGE (TR) SENSOR under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Check Throttle Position (TP) sensor adjustment and operation. Adjust if necessary. See TESTING in AISIN WARNER 4 ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article.
