Repair Procedures: Installation
- Check that the gear is shifted to "N".
- Install the inhibitor switch (A).NOTE: Lightly tighten the inhibitor switch mounting bolts so that necessary adjustments can be made.
- Install the manual control lever (A).NOTE: Lightly tighten the manual control lever nut so that necessary adjustments can be made.
- Align the hole (B) in the manual control lever with the "N" position hole (A) of the inhibitor switch and then insert the SST inhibitor switch guide pin (09480-A3800).
- Tighten the manual control lever mounting nut (A).
Tightening Torque:Β
17.7 - 24.5 N.m (1.8 - 2.5 kgf.m, 13.0 - 18.1 lb.ft)
- Tighten the inhibitor switch mounting bolts (A).
Tightening Torque:Β
9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb.ft)
- Remove the SST (09480-A3800) from the adjustment hole.
- Connect the inhibitor switch connector (A).
- Tighten the nut (B) to the specified torque after removing free play by pushing the shift cable in the direction of the arrow.
