      WARNING:

      Be sure to apply the parking brake and chock all 4 wheels to secure the vehicle.

    5. Slowly move the shift lever to N and measure the moving distance (B) of the shift lever from the original point to the gear disengagement point.
      NOTE:

      Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.

    6. Check that the moving distances (A) and (B) shown in the illustration are almost the same.

      HINT: 

      • If the moving distances (A) and (B) are almost the same, adjustment of the shift lever position is not necessary.
      • If the moving distance (A) is shorter than (B), perform step [#1] of Adjust Shift Lever Position Sensor Position.
      • If the moving distance (B) is shorter than (A), perform step [#2] of Adjust Shift Lever Position Sensor Position.
  3. ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION SENSOR POSITION 
    1. If the moving distance (A) is shorter than (B). [#1]

      HINT: 

      If the shift lever is moved from R to N, the moving distance of the shift lever from the original point to the gear disengagement point becomes longer.

      1. Move the shift lever to N.
      2. Loosen the 2 bolts.
