Examination
1. Disconnect the sensor wire (the corner shows the location of the contacts in the contact socket of the sensor).
2. Set the gear lever in turn to each of the positions. Take measurements and compare the results with the data in the tables Checking the gearbox sensor (4ET and GF4A-EL) and Checking the transmission sensor (CD4E and LA4A-EL).
Checking the gearbox sensor (4ET and GF4A-EL)
Sensor switch position | Circuit closed (contacts) |
P | 1 and 5; 6 and 9 |
R | 1 and 4 |
N | 1 and 8; 6 and 9 |
D | 1 and 2 |
1 | 1 and 7 |
2 | 1 and 3 |
Checking the gearbox sensor (CD4E and LA4A-EL)
Sensor switch position | Circuit closed (contacts) |
P | 1 and 7 (3770 - 4607 Ohm); 8 and 2 |
R | 1 and 7 (1304 - 1593 ohms); 5 and 3 |
N | 1 and 7 (660 - 807 Ohm); 8 and 2 |
D | 1 and 7 (361 - 442 ohms) |
1 | 1 and 7 (190 - 232 ohm) |
2 | 1 and 7 (78 - 95 Ohm) |
Adjustment (4EAT and GF4F-EL)
1. Place the shift lever in neutral position. Disconnect the shift lever cable from the shift lever on the transmission.
2. Loosen the switch bolts and turn it to align the neutral mark (A) with switch rod (IN).
3. Disconnect the sensor wire and connect an ohmmeter to the contacts responsible for the neutral position. The circuit between the contacts must be closed.
4. Tighten the switch bolts and install the lever and cable.
Replacement
1. Raise and secure the front of the vehicle.
2. Disconnect the wire from the sensor.
3. Place the shift lever in neutral position.
4. Loosen the sensor screws.
5. Install a new switch and adjust the sensor.
