6) Connect negative cable at battery.

Transmission Range Sensor Inspection and 
Adjustment

S6JB0B5106014

1) Manual select lever to “N” range.
2) Check that center line (2) on manual shift and “N” 

reference line (1) on sensor are aligned. If not, 
loosen sensor bolt (3) and align them.

3) Check that engine starts in “N” and “P” ranges but it 

doesn’t start in “D”, “4”, “3”, “L” or “R” range. Also, 
check that back-up light lights in “R” range.
If faulty condition cannot be corrected by adjustment, 
disconnect transmission range sensor connector

Brake and key Interlock System Inspection

S6JB0B5106016

1) Check that selector lever cannot be moved to any 

other range from “P” range position when ignition 
switch key is at ACC position, at LOCK position or it 
is removed from keyhole of ignition switch, or brake 
pedal is not depressed.

2) Shift select lever to “P” range position, release knob 

button and check for the following.

removed from ignition switch.

• With shift lock solenoid release button (1) pushed 

and ignition key turned to ACC position, selector 
lever can be shifted from “P” range position to any 
other range.

•  With shift lock solenoid release button (1) pushed 

and ignition key turned to LOCK position, selector 
lever can not be shifted from “P” range position to 
any other range.

• When ignition switch is turned ON and brake 

pedal is depressed, selector lever can be shifted 
from “P” range position to any other range.

3) With ignition lever shifted to any position other than 

“P” range, check that ignition key cannot be turned 
LOCK position and it cannot be removed from
