SHIFT-LOCK INSPECTION

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Verify that the selector lever is in the P position.
3. Verify that the selector lever cannot be shifted from the P position without depressing the brake pedal.
4. Depress the brake pedal and verify that the selector lever cannot be shifted from the P position. If a malfunction is found, inspect the interlock cable. (See «INTERLOCK CABLE INSPECTION»(ref-193862-S42250219612005092600000) .)

KEY INTERLOCK INSPECTION

1. Verify that the ignition key cannot be pulled out except in the P position. If a malfunction is found, inspect the interlock cable. (See «INTERLOCK CABLE INSPECTION»(ref-193862-S42250219612005092600000) .)

9. Push the snap pin into hole B and hole C of the lock unit until it passes through.
10. Disconnect the brake switch connector.
11. Remove the brake switch. (See «BRAKE PEDAL»(ref-164523-S38717772142004080900000) .)
12. Install the new brake switch. (See «BRAKE PEDAL»(ref-164523-S38717772142004080900000) .) CAUTION: Do not connect the brake switch connector until the interlock cable adjustment is completed.
13. Install the lock unit to the bracket. (See «INTERLOCK CABLE INSTALLATION NOTE»(ref-193862-S37853948382005092600000) .)
14. Rotate the slider pin to release the lock, and verify that it slides freely.

16. Install the interlock cable end to the interlock link on the selector lever.
17. Fit the interlock cable in the U-groove in the selector lever base plate and install the clip.
18. Press the interlock cable lock piece in until it is locked. CAUTION: Applying a load to the interlock cable while pressing the lock piece in can affect the lock unit operation.
19. Remove the snap pin from the lock unit hole A, B and C.
20. Connect the brake switch connector with the brake pedal released. CAUTION: The clearance between the brake switch and the brake pedal is automatically adjusted to the correct amount when the brake switch connector is connected after the brake switch has been properly installed. If the brake switch is not properly installed or the connector is connected before installation, the clearance may be incorrect, causing a brake light malfunction. Therefore, always verify that the brake switch is properly installed before connecting the connector. Once the brake switch clearance has automatically been adjusted, it cannot be adjusted again. Therefore, replace the switch with a new one when replacing the power brake unit or the pedal, or performing any procedure that changes the pedal stroke.
21. Inspect shift lock operation. (See «SHIFT-LOCK INSPECTION»(ref-193862-S16996340412005092600000) .)
