Adjustments - Park-Interlock Cable
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The park-interlock cable is part of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. Correct cable adjustment is important to proper interlock operation. The gear shift and park lock cables must both be correctly adjusted in order to shift out of PARK.
- Remove floor console as necessary for access to the park-interlock cable. (Refer to BODY/INTERIOR/FLOOR CONSOLE - REMOVAL)
- Shift the transmission into the PARK position.
- Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Be sure ignition key cylinder is in the LOCK position. Cable will not adjust correctly in any other position.
- Pull cable lock button up to release cable. See Fig 1.
- Ensure that the cable is free to self-adjust by pushing cable rearward and releasing.
- Push lock button down until it snaps in place.
- Verify proper operation. (Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM )
