BRAKE/TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE VERIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT

VERIFICATION






The following chart describes the normal operation of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. If the "expected response" differs from the vehicle's response, then system repair and/or adjustment is necessary.






Refer to the following chart that expected shifter response, depending on ignition key/switch and brake pedal positions.

ADJUSTMENT





1. Disconnect and isolate, the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the gearshift knob set screw (2) and knob (1).




3. Remove the gearshift bezel (2) to gain access to the interlock cable adjuster lock.




4. Re-install the gearshift knob set screw (2) and knob (1).




5. Place the shift lever in PARK. Move the ignition key to the LOCK position (2) and remove the key.
