Shift Cable
CAUTION:
To prevent damage, do not adjust the transmission shift cable in any position other than "D". Verify that the vehicle will start in "P" or "N" and that backup lamps illuminate in "R".

Pull shift cable adjustment lock tab outward to unlock. See Fig 1 . Ensure adjuster body moves freely.
- Position shift control lever in "OD" position. "OD" position is obtained by rotating shift control lever clockwise until travel stops, and then turn shift control lever counterclockwise 2 detents. See Fig 2 . Connect cable to shift control lever. Push in lock tab to lock adjustment sleeve in position. Lower vehicle.
- Remove weight from gearshift lever. Check for park gear engagement. Start engine and ensure indicated gear positions match transmission response. Verify vehicle only starts in "P" and "N" positions and back-up lights operate when in "R" position. If operation is not okay, check transmission range sensor adjustment.
