Shift Cable
- Check adjustment by starting engine in Park and Neutral. Adjustment is correct if engine starts ONLY in these positions. Adjustment is incorrect if engine starts in one but not both positions. If engine starts in any position other than Park or Neutral, or if engine will not start at all, check for faulty park/neutral position switch or transmission range sensor.
