INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion Inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

Install or connect the following:
1. Electrical BTSI actuator (61) to column.
a. Column in "Neutral" position.
b. BTSI actuator (61) to mounting pin on steering column jacket assembly (58) and outer shift cable ball stud on cable shift cam assembly (44).
c. Electrical connector to BTSI actuator (61).
- Axial position assurance connector (23) to electrical connector.
2. If all service operation are completed, enable the SIR system; refer to enabling the sir system.
3. Negative (-) battery cable.
4. Inspect the following:
- Function check Electrical BTSI actuator (61) for proper operation.
- Actuator (61) must lock gearshift lever when ever steering column is in "PARK" position and when trying to shift from "PARK" position without pressing brake pedal. (Solenoid is energized)
- Actuator (61) must release gearshift lever when pressure is applied to brake pedal. (Solenoid is de-energized)
- Readjust if needed.
