Starter Switch Check
When you are doing this check, the vehicle could
move suddenly. If it does, you or others could be
injured. Follow the steps below.
Brake-Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) Check
(Automatic Transmission)
1. Before
you
start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle.
2.
Firmly apply both
the
parking brake (see “Parking
Brake” in the Index if necessary) and the regular brake.
NOTE: Do
not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn
off
the engine immediately if it starts.
3.
On automatic transmission vehicles, try
to
start the
engine
in
each gear. The starter should work
only
in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL
(N).
If the starter works in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever
in NEUTRAL (N), push the clutch down halfway
and try
to
start the engine. The starter should work
only when
the
clutch is pushed down all the way
to
the floor. If the starter works when the clutch isn’t
pushed all the way down,
your
vehicle needs service.
When you are doing this check, the vehicle could
move suddenly.
If
it does, you
or
others could be
injured. Follow the steps below.
1.
Before
you
start, be sure
you
have enough room
around the vehicle. It should be parked
on
a
level surface.
2.
Firmly apply
the
parking brake (see “Parking Brake”
in
the Index if necessary).
NOTE:
Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately
if
the
vehicle begins
to
move.
3.
With the engine
off,
turn the key to the RUN
position, but don’t start the engine. Without applying
the
regular brake, try to move
the
shift lever out
of
PARK (P) with normal effort. If the shift lever
moves out
of
PARK (P), your vehicle’s BTSI
needs service.
