17. Install the interlock cable end to the interlock link 

on the selector lever.

18. Fit the interlock cable in the U-groove in the 

selector lever base plate and install the clip.

19. Press the interlock cable lock piece in until it is 

locked.

Caution

• Applying a load to the interlock cable 

while pressing the lock piece in can 
affect the lock unit operation.

20. Remove the a 1.5mm {0.059 in} round bar or 

similar from the lock unit holes A, B, and C.

21. Connect the brake switch connector with the 

brake pedal released.

Caution

• The clearance between the brake switch 

and the brake pedal is automatically 
adjusted to the correct amount when the 
brake switch connector is connected 
after the brake switch has been properly 
installed. If the brake switch is not 
properly installed or the connector is 
connected before installation, the 
clearance may be incorrect, causing a brake light malfunction. Therefore, always verify that the 
brake switch is properly installed before connecting the connector.

• Once the brake switch clearance has automatically been adjusted, it cannot be adjusted again. 

Therefore, replace the switch with a new one when replacing the power brake unit or the pedal, or 
performing any procedure that changes the pedal stroke.

22. Inspect shift lock operation. (See05-18-2 SHIFT-LOCK INSPECTION.)
