On-Vehicle Inspection

INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
1. When moving the shift lever from P to R with the engine switch on (IG) and the brake pedal depressed, make sure that it moves smoothly and correctly into position.
2. Check that the shift lever does not stop when moving the shift lever from R to P, and check that the shift lever does not stick when moving the shift lever from D to S.
3. Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle moves forward after moving the shift lever from N to D and moves rearward after moving the shift lever to R.
  If the operation cannot be performed as specified, inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly and check the shift lever assembly installation condition.
CHECK SHIFT LOCK OPERATION
1. Move the shift lever to P.
2. Turn the engine switch off.
3. Check that the shift lever cannot be moved from P.
4. Turn the engine switch on (IG), depress the brake pedal and check that the shift lever can be moved to other positions.
  If the operation cannot be done as specified, inspect the shift lever assembly and shift lock control unit.
CHECK SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BUTTON OPERATION
1. When operating the shift lever with the shift lock release button pressed, check that the lever can be moved to any position.
  If the operation cannot be performed as specified, check the shift lever assembly.
