You can position the steering column transmission shift lever to PARK (P), apply the parking brake, raise the vehicle, and position the transmission range select lever to PARK (P). Slide the black retaining clip forward on the range select lever cable end, push the white lock button on the range select lever cable end out, inspect the metal core adjust body on the cable end for dirt or debris that may restrict the travel, and remove any debris by washing the cable end, the metal core adjust body, and the white lock button with soap and water. Lower the vehicle, ensure that the parking brake is applied, turn on the ignition switch, and move the transmission shift lever from PARK (P) to 1 and back to PARK (P) ten times. Place the steering column transmission shift lever in the Park (P) position, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, raise the vehicle and position the transmission range select lever to PARK (P). Next push in the white lock button to secure the core adjuster body inside the range select lever cable end, slide the black retainer clip rearward over the cable end until it covers the white lock button, lock the clip over the cable end, lower the vehicle and turn on the ignition switch. Ensure that all the transmission shift light positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1) are engaged and illuminated, and ensure that the engine starts in PARK (P) and in NEUTRAL (N) positions only. Then you can turn the ignition switch to LOCK, ensure that the ignition key can only be removed with the transmission shift lever in the PARK (P) position and start the engine and check the vehicle transmission shifting.
