Park Pin Switch
NOTE:
Letter references in parenthesis are identified in following illustrations.
- Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover. See DASHBOARD LOWER COVER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Remove the instrument panel. See INSTRUMENT PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Disconnect the O/D switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector. See Figure.
- Check for continuity between the No. 1 and 2 terminals of the O/D switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector while the shift lever is in the "P" position, and when shift lever out of "P" or pushed to the left.
- In the "P" position, there should be no continuity.
- When out of the "P" position or pushed to the left, there should be continuity. If the park pin switch is okay, connect the connector and install the removed parts. If the park pin switch is faulty, go to next step for replacement.
- Shift the gearshift lever to the "R" position.
- Slide the lock tab down on the shift cable end holder. See Figure.
- Grasp the shift cable lock in the middle with needle-nose pliers, and remove it from the shift cable end and shift cable end holder. See Figure.
- Separate the shift cable end from the shift cable end holder.
- Rotate the socket holder on the shift cable a quarter turn, the tab on the socket holder will be in the opening of the socket holder bracket. Then slide the holder to remove the shift cable from the socket holder bracket. See Figure.
- Remove the shift lever assembly. See Figure.
- Remove the harness from the harness clamp on the shift lever bracket base, and remove the harness band from the harness.
- Pry up the tabs on the O/D switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector to release the lock. See Figure.
- Remove the terminal from the connector by pushing the lock tab up in the connector using a thin blade screwdriver. Remove all 6 terminals.
- Remove the shift lever cover. See Figure.
- Remove the control checker (A) from the shift lever, and remove the park pin switch from the control checker. See Fig 1.
- Install the new park pin switch (B) by aligning its tab (C) with the positioning hole (D) on the control checker. Apply non-hardening thread lock sealant to the screw (E), then secure the park pin switch with the screw.
- Install the control checker on the shift lever.
- Route the harnesses, and clamp them as shown. See Figure.
- Install the O/D switch harness terminals in the No. 5 and 6 cavities. Either O/D switch harness terminal can be installed in the No. 5 and 6 cavities. See Figure.
- Install the park pin switch harness terminals in the No. 1 and 2 cavities. Either park pin switch harness terminal can be installed in the No. 1 and 2 cavities.
- Install the Blue harness terminal of the shift lock solenoid in the No. 3 cavity and the Red harness terminal in the No. 4 cavity. Make sure that all 6 terminals lock securely, then install the lock securely.
- Align the marks (A) on the harnesses, and tie the harness band (B) over the marks. Clamp the O/D switch harness (C) .6" (15 mm) (D) from the harness band. See Figure.
- Install the shift lever cover.
- Install the shift lever assembly. See Figure.
- Turn the ignition switch on (II), and verify that the position indicator comes on.
- If necessary, push the shift cable until it stops, then release it. Pull the shift cable back one step so that the shift cable is in "R" position. See Figure. Do not hold the shift cable guide (A) to adjust the shift cable (B).
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Insert a .24" (6.0 mm) pin (A) into the positioning holes (B) on the shift lever bracket base and through the positioning hole (C) on the shift lever. See Figure. The shift lever is secured in the "R" position.
- Rotate the socket holder on the shift cable to face the tab on the holder opposite to the opening in the socket holder bracket. See Figure. Align the holder with the opening in the bracket, then slide the holder into the bracket. Rotate the holder a quarter turn to secure the shift cable. Do not install the shift cable by twisting the shift cable guide and damper.
- Install the shift cable end (A) in the shift cable end holder (B). See Figure. Keep the shift cable end and end holder free of grease.
- Install the new shift cable lock to secure the shift cable end and shift cable end holder, then push the lock tab up until it stops to lock the joint. See Figure.
- Remove the .24" (6.0 mm) pin that was installed to hold the shift lever.
- Connect the O/D switch/shift lock solenoid/park pin switch connector.
- Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the A/T gear position indicator follows the transmission range switch.
- Check that the park pin switch operates.
- Install the driver's dashboard lower cover. See DASHBOARD LOWER COVER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Install the instrument panel. See INSTRUMENT PANEL under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
NOTE:
Do not pry the shift cable lock with a screwdriver, it may damage the shift cable end holder.
NOTE:
Do not remove the shift cable by twisting the shift cable guide and damper.
