  3. Check that engine starts in "N" and "P" ranges but it doesn't start in "D", "3", "2", "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 and check that continuity exists as shown by moving select lever.
