the Electrical System-to-Component Chart. lf the Ol or E indicator light does not indicate a trouble code and failure is not
found on the electrical troubleshooting, perform the hydraulic troubleshooting following the chart.

with the hole in the adjusting rod. There are two
holes in the cable adjuster. They are positioned 90"
apart to allow cable adjustments ln l/4 turn incre-
ments.

CablsToo Short
lf not perfectly aligned, loosen the locknut on the
shitt cable. and adjust as required.
Tighten the locknut.
Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel the
lock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is still
out of adjustment and must be readjusted.
Make sure the lock pin is seated securely in the
adjuster. Replace the lock pin if it does not snap
over the cable adjuster securely.
Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that the
A/T gear position indicator follows the A"/T gear
position switch.
Start the engine, and check the shift lever in all
gears. lf any gear does not work properly, refer to
troubleshooting on page 14-'153 thru 14-156.
Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on the
