Shift Cable: Adjustments

CAUTION:
- All SRS wire harnesses are covered with yellow insulation. Before you disconnect any part of an SRS wire harness, disconnect the airbag connectors.
- Whenever the ignition switch ON (II), or has been turned OFF for less than three minutes, be careful not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.

1. Remove the front console.





2. Shift to N position, then remove the lock pin from the cable adjuster.





3. Check that the hole in the adjuster is perfectly aligned with the hole in the shift cable.

NOTE: There are two holes in the end of the shift cable. They are positioned 90° apart to allow cable adjustments in 1/4 turn increments.

4. If not perfectly aligned, loosen the locknut on the cable adjuster, and adjust as required.
5. Tighten the locknut.
6. Install the lock pin on the adjuster. If you feel the lock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is still out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
7. Make sure the lock pin is seated securely in the adjuster.
8. Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the A/T gear position indicator follows the A/T gear position switch.
9. Start the engine and check the shift lever in all gears.
10. Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the A/T gear position indicator panel, and verify that the shift lock lever is released.
