Starter Switch Check
{CAUTION:
When you are doing this inspection, the
vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle
moves, you or others could be injured.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the parking brake and the regular
brake. See Parking Brake on page 2-24.
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 vehicle should start only in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). If the vehicle starts in
any other position, your vehicle needs service.
On manual transmission vehicles, put the shift lever
in NEUTRAL, push the clutch down halfway, and try
to start the engine. The vehicle should start only
when the clutch is pushed down all the way to the
floor. If the vehicle starts when the clutch is not
pushed all the way down, your vehicle needs service.
