Firmly apply the parking brake and try to momentarily operate the starter in each shift lever position; it should only operate when the shift lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL. If it operates in any other position, adjust the shift cable. If the issue persists after adjustment, the Transmission Range (TR) sensor may be defective. To adjust the shift cable, place the shift lever in PARK, remove the knee bolster, and release the shift cable adjuster lock tab. Raise the vehicle securely on jackstands, ensuring the rear is also elevated to turn the driveshaft. At the transmission end of the cable, pry the cable end off the manual shift lever and verify that the manual shift lever is fully in the PARK position. Check that the park lock pawl is engaged by attempting to rotate the driveshaft, which should not move if correctly engaged. Reconnect the shift cable to the manual shift lever, lower the vehicle, and ensure the engine starts with the parking brake applied. Snap the cable adjuster lock tab into place, and if the starter still operates in positions other than PARK and NEUTRAL, replace the Transmission Range (TR) sensor. For replacement, ensure the shift lever is in PARK, raise the vehicle securely, pry the cable end off the manual shift lever, lower the vehicle, and remove the knee bolster and steering column covers. Remove the shift cable grommet from the firewall, disconnect the electrical connector from the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) solenoid, and pry the cable end off the lever on the steering column. To disengage the cable assembly from the lower steering column bracket, squeeze the two tangs on the cable housing and pull the assembly straight down, then remove the grommet from the firewall and pull the cable through. Installation is the reverse of removal, followed by adjusting the cable.
