Park/Neutral Position Switch: Adjustment

1. Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Depress the brake pedal and check that the engine starts only when the shift lever is set in N or P position and it does not start in other positions.
3. Check that the back-up light is lit and the reverse warning buzzer sounds only when the shift lever is set in R position and these do not function in other positions.

If a failure is found, check the park/neutral position switch for continuity.

1. Loosen the park/neutral position switch bolt and move the shift lever to N.
