Interlock Cable
NOTE:
Interlock system will not allow gearshift to move from Park unless ignition is turned on. It also prevents ignition key removal unless gearshift is in Park.
- Remove 6 screws from console, and remove center and rear consoles. Remove 2 screws from selector knob, and remove knob from lever. Remove 4 screws, and lift selector lever cover off lever. Remove bulb and socket from under lever cover and place cover aside.
- Loosen interlock cable bolt. With selector lever in Park, hold selector button in and rotate key release plate. Insert a small screwdriver into hole in lower key release plate. Retaining spring will move interlock cable bracket into position. See Fig 1. Tighten interlock cable bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
- Ensure ignition switch operates from ACC to LOCK position, and ignition key can be removed when gearshift is in Park. Move transaxle lever to any other position. Ensure ignition switch cannot be turned from ACC to LOCK position. If ignition switch will turn, readjust interlock cable. Install all components by reversing procedures in first step.
