TRANSAXLE RANGE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: While adjusting the transaxle range switch, always rotate the switch towards the engine to achieve continuity. A diagnostic trouble code P0706 could result if this procedure is not followed.
1. Place transaxle in D (Drive). Use ohmmeter or continuity tester to check for continuity across terminals on selector switch. Rotate the transaxle range switch from the left fender towards the engine until continuity is achieved.
2. Tighten switch to case bolts. After switch-to-case bolts have been tightened, check continuity.
Torque:
Switch-to-Case Bolts: 14 N.m (124 in-lbs)
IMPORTANT: Digital volt/ohm meter (DVM) with audible continuity test is preferred. Do not stick probe into transaxle range switch terminal hole; use male terminals on transaxle range switch or faulty readings could occur.
3. Connect electrical connectors.
4. Install air induction system.
Torque:
Air Induction Fasteners: 10 N.m (89 in-lbs)

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
