System Operation Check

Inspect key interlock and shift lock operation as follows:
1. Check that the starter operates when the shift lever is in only P and N position and does not operate in the other ranges.
2. Operate the shift lever and check that the reading on the indicator conforms to the actual position.
3. Check that the ignition key can be pulled out in P position.
4. Check that the ignition key does not turn to LOCK position in any other range than P position.
5. Check that the shift lever can be shifted from P position to another position when the shift release button is pressed.
6. When shifting it to each range, make sure that the shifting lever moves smoothly, can be moderately operated and the position indicator displays correctly:
  - Ranges which can be operated without pressing the shift lever knob button - R > N > D > 2, L > 2 > D > N.
  - Ranges which can be operated only while pressing the shift lever knob button - 2 > L, N > R > P.
  - Ranges which can be operated only while pressing the shift lever knob button, ignition switch ON and brake pedal depressed - P > R.
  See Figure.
7. When starting the engine, make sure that the vehicle moves forward when shifting from N to D position, and moves rearward when shifting to R position.
If system operation is not as specified, proceed to COMPONENT TESTS .
