Service Information

Transmission Range Switch Test

Removal

1. Air Cleaner





1. Disconnect the intake air duct (A) from the air cleaner (B).

2. Remove the air cleaner.

Test

1. Transmission Range Switch - Test





Transmission Range Switch 8P Connector





1. Disconnect the connector.

2. Check for continuity between terminals at the transmission range switch 8P connector. There should be continuity between the terminals in each switch position as shown in the table.

3. The transmission range switch test is completed if the test results are OK. If there is no continuity between any terminals, check the selector control shaft, refer to the Selector Control Shaft Width and End Gap - Test procedure.

Removal

1. Transmission Range Switch





1. Apply the parking brake, and move the shift lever to N.

2. Disconnect the connector.

3. Remove the selector control shaft cover (A).

4. Remove the transmission range switch (B).

Test

1. Selector Control Shaft Width and End Gap - Test





1. Check the end of the selector control shaft (A).








* If the measurements of the selector control shaft end are within the standard, replace the transmission range switch.
* If the measurements are out of the standard, repair the selector control shaft end.

2. After installing the transmission range switch, and recheck the transmission range switch continuity.

Installation

1. Transmission Range Switch





1. Make sure the selector control shaft is in the N position. If necessary, move the shift lever from P to N.

NOTE: Do not use the selector control shaft to adjust the shift position. If the selector control shaft tips are squeezed together it will cause a faulty signal or position due to play between the selector control shaft and the transmission range switch.





2. Set the transmission range switch (A) to the N position, align the cutouts (B) on the rotary-frame with the neutral positioning cutouts (C) on the transmission range switch. Then put a 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade (D) in the cutouts to hold the transmission range switch in the N position.

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.





3. Install the transmission range switch (A) gently on the selector control shaft (B) while holding it in the N position with the 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade (C).





4. Tighten the bolts (A) on the transmission range switch while you continue to hold the N position with the 2.0 mm(0.079 in) feeler gauge blade (B). Do not move the transmission range switch when tightening the bolts. Then remove the 2.0 mm (0.079 in) feeler gauge blade.

5. Check the connector for corrosion, dirt, or oil, clean or repair if necessary.

6. Connect the connector.





7. Install the selector control shaft cover (A) on the transmission range switch (B).

2. Air Cleaner





1. Install the air cleaner (A).

2. Connect the intake air duct (B) to the air cleaner.
