INHIBITOR SWITCH AND CONTROL 
CABLE ADJUSTMENT

1. Move the selector lever to the N position.
2. Loosen the adjusting nut, and set the manual 

control lever upper and lower to the free condition.

3. Move the manual control lever lower to the neutral 

position.

4. Loosen the inhibitor switch body mounting bolts, 

and then turn the inhibitor switch body to align the 
second hole from the end of the manual control 
lever with the hole in the inhibitor switch body 
flange (section A 

− A).

NOTE: The inhibitor switch body can be aligned 
by hand, because the manual control lever end is 
as wide as the switch body flange. Alternatively, 
the inhibitor switch can also be aligned by insert-
ing a 5-mm bar in the second hole from the end of 
the manual control lever and the hole in the inhibi-
tor switch body flange.

CAUTION

Be careful not let the inhibitor switch body slip 
out of place.

6. Gently push the transmission control cable in the 

direction of the arrow to tighten the adjusting nut 
to the specified torque.

7. Check that the selector lever is at the N position.
8. Check that the transmission shifts to the correct 

range corresponding to the position of the selector 
lever, and that it functions correctly in that range.

2. Use the jumper leads to connect CVT control 

relay terminal 2 to the negative battery terminal 
and terminal 1 to the positive battery terminal.

3. Check the continuity between CVT control relay 

connector terminals 3 and 4 while alternately 
connecting and disconnecting the jumper leads 
from the battery terminals.

CAUTION

The single shift control solenoid valve cannot be 
removed nor replaced. If the shift control sole-
noid valve needs to be replaced, replace the 
valve body assembly.
7. If not within the standard value, replace the 

solenoid valve.

8. If within the standard value, check the harness 

wire between CVT control solenoid valve 
assembly connector and each solenoid valve 
connector. If a problem is not found at the steps 
above, check the solenoid valve O-rings and 
replace if necessary.

3. If the CVT fluid temperature sensor resistance 

and the temperature when the N range indicator is 
flashing or switched off are outside the standard 
value ranges, replace the CVT fluid temperature 
sensor.
