Automatic Transmission External Controls System: Other Ford Focus II

Selector lever cable

1. At the transaxle end the selector lever cable is attached to a ball on the shift shaft lever through the transmission range (TR) sensor.
2. The cable abutments are secured first to the transaxle housing and second to the bracket of the selector lever.
3. The adjuster for the selector lever cable is located on the end of the shift cable at the transaxle.
4. At the selector lever end the cable is clipped onto a ball.

1. A quick-release fastener on the selector lever cable allows adjustment of the cable relative to the conduit.
2. Adjustment is required if the transaxle or the selector lever has been removed, if the engine does not start in PARK or NEUTRAL in case of shift quality concerns or if the switch catches are incorrect. To adjust the selector lever cable, the selector lever must be in DRIVE position.
3. To make sure the transaxle is in DRIVE position the cable should be removed from the shift shaft lever, the transaxle should be shifted in DRIVE and the selector lever cable should be clipped again onto the shift shaft lever.
4. The selector lever cable must not be stressed. The selector lever cable must be free from binding.

The selector lever cable is locked by pressing the cable adjuster after making sure the shift mechanism is in DRIVE.

10. A10 CHECK THE GEARSHIFT LEVER UNIT Measure the resistance between range selector lever unit C3233 component side, pins 2 and 1 with the range selector lever in positions R, N, D, 1 and 2. Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? Yes : INSTALL a new key removal inhibit solenoid. TEST the system for normal operation. No : INSTALL a new selector lever. TEST the system for normal operation.
11. A11 CHECK CIRCUIT 31S-TA34 (BK/YE) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND Disconnect: Generic Electronic Module (GEM) C201d. Disconnect: Selector Lever C3233. Disconnect: Ignition Switch C250. Measure the resistance between ignition switch C250, pin 3 and ground. Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? Yes : GO to A12 . No : REPAIR circuit 31S-TA34 (BK/YE) for a short to ground.
12. A12 CHECK THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER FOR MECHANICAL DAMAGE Connect: GEM C201d. Connect: Selector Lever C3233. Connect: Ignition Switch C250. Remove BJB fuse F1.8 (30A) and attempt to turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Does the ignition cylinder turn to the OFF position? Yes : INSTALL a new selector lever. TEST the system for normal operation. No : INSPECT the ignition switch and ignition lock cylinder for damage. REPAIR or INSTALL new as required.
