4. Loosen the transmission range switch body mounting bolts 

and turn the park/neutral position switch body so the hole in 
the end of the manual control lever and the hole (section A 

− 

A in the figure on the left) in the flange of the transmission 
range switch body flange are aligned.
NOTE: The transmission range switch body can be aligned 
by inserting a 5-mm diameter steel bar into the end hole of 
the manual control lever and the flange hole of the transmis-
sion range switch body.

5. Tighten the transmission range switch body mounting bolts 

to the specified torque. Be careful at this time that the switch 
body does not move.

Tightening torque: 11 

± 1 N⋅m (96 ± 8 in-lb)

6. Gently push the transaxle control cable in the direction of the 

arrow, until the cable is taut. Tighten the adjusting nut.

Tightening torque: 12 

± 2 N⋅m (107 ± 17 in-lb)

7. Check that the selector lever is in the "N" position.
8. Check that each position of the manual control lever 

matches each position of the selector lever using scan tool 
MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).

TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
CHECK

M1231021800058

1. Remove the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the 

transmission fluid temperature sensor connector.

Standard value:

3. If the transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance is 

outside the specified range and the "N" range indicator light 
is flashing, replace the transmission fluid temperature 
sensor.
NOTE: The "N" range indicator light on the combination 
meter flashes when the temperature reaches approximately 
125

°

C (257

°

F) or greater, and then stops flashing when the 

temperature drops below approximately 115

°
