Disconnecting Selector Cable:

2. Hoist vehicle.

3. Remove locknut and disconnect selector cable from shift lever by shifting shift lever to "L" range position.

4. Set shift lever to "N" range position and remove shift switch flange bolt. After turning shift lever switch completely clockwise, turn it counterclockwise gradually until restriction is felt, and tighten flange bolt there.

5. Perform continuity check as described in "Shift Switch" test procedure, under SPECIFICATIONS, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC SPECIFICATIONS. But this time, move shift lever from "P" to "L" and "L" to "P" range position instead of shifting selector lever and check for continuity between each terminal. If check result is not satisfactory, replace shift lever switch.

7. With both selector lever and shift lever in "N" range position respectively, tighten adjusting nut and lock nut.
