1. Transmission Range Switch - Install
1.
Make sure the control lever (A) is in the N position/mode. If necessary, move the control lever to the N position/mode.
NOTE: Do not use the control shaft (B) to adjust the shift position. If the control shaft tips are squeezed together, it will cause a faulty signal or position due to play between the control shaft and the transmission range switch.
2.
Set the transmission range switch (C) to the N position/mode. Align the cutouts (D) on the rotary-frame with the N positioning cutouts (E) on the transmission range switch, then put a 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade (F) in the cutouts to hold the transmission range switch in the N position/mode.
NOTE: Be sure to use a 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade or equivalent to hold the transmission range switch in the N position/mode.
3.
Loosely install the transmission range switch gently on the control shaft while holding it in the N position/mode with the 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade.
4.
Tighten the bolts (G) on the transmission range switch while you continue holding the N position/mode.
NOTE: Do not move the transmission range switch when tightening the bolts.
5.
Remove the feeler gauge.
6.
Install the control shaft cover (H).
7.
Connect the connector (J), and make sure it is fully seated.
NOTE: Check the connector for corrosion, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary.

2. Transmission Harness - Install


6. Transmission Range Switch - After Install Check
1.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
2.
Move the shift lever through all positions/modes, and check that the shift position indicator follows the shift lever operation.
3.
Start the engine.
NOTE: Check that the engine starts in P or N position/mode, and does not start in any other positions/modes.
4.
Check that the back-up lights come on when the transmission is in R position/mode.

3. Transmission Range Switch - Test
1.
Disconnect the connector (A) by pulling the lock (B) and the lever (C) in the numbered sequence shown.
2.
Check for continuity between the terminals at the connector (male terminals) (D). There should be continuity between the terminals in the table for each transmission range switch position.
If the test results are OK, the transmission range switch test is finished, and install all removed parts.
If there is no continuity between any terminals, check the transmission range switch installation. If the switch installation is OK, go to step 5.

4. Transmission Range Switch - Remove


5. Control Shaft End Clearance - Check
1.
Check the end of the control shaft (A).
Control Shaft Specification
End Gap (B):
1.8?2.0 mm (0.071?0.079 in)
Width (C):
6.1?6.2 mm (0.240?0.244 in)
If the measurement at the end of the control shaft is within the specification, replace the transmission range switch.
If the measurement is out of the specification, repair the control shaft end, and recheck the transmission range switch continuity.

6. All Removed Parts - Install
1.
Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE: Check the connector for corrosion, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary.
