Normal operation of a neutral safety switch provides
a quick check for the adjustment of the gear selector
linkage. To do this, move the selector lever slowly until it
click into the park position. Turn the ignition key to the
start position ; if the starter operates, the park position is
correct. After checking the park position, move the lever
slowly toward the neutral position until the lever drops
at the end of the N stop in the selector gate. If the starter
also operates at this point, the gearshift linkage is
properly adjusted. This quick test also tests the adjustment of
the neutral safety switch. If the engine does not start in
either or both of these positions, the neutral safety switch
or the gear selector linkage needs adjustment or repair.
