INHIBITOR SWITCH ADJUSTMENT:

INHIBITOR SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

The inhibitor switch has two major functions. It causes the back-up lights to illuminate when the shift lever is placed in the reverse range. It also acts as a neutral safety switch allowing current to pass from the starter only when the lever is placed in the "P" or "N" range.

Inspection

A continuity tester may be used to check the inhibitor switch for proper operation.
1. Check continuity at "N", "P" and "R" ranges.
2. With control lever held in Neutral, turn manual lever an equal amount in both directions to see if current flow ranges are nearly the same. (Current normally begins to flow before manual lever reaches an angle of 1.5~ in either direction.) If current flows outside normal range, or if normal flow range is out of specifications, properly adjust inhibitor switch.

Transmission Disassembly:

32. Pry off snap ring (1) from both ends of parking brake lever (2) and remove the lever. Back off manual shaft lock nut (3) and remove manual plate (4) and parking rod (5).
33. Remove inhibitor switch and manual shaft by loosening two retaining bolts.
(34. Remove O.D. indicator switch and O-ring.)
