Adjusting gear position and gear position
sensor
|
Saab 900 M1994- with automatic transmission.
A new tool has been developed for adjusting the gear position sensor and
adjusting instructions are therefore changed.
87 92 467 Adjusting tool
Check gear selector lever positions when changing the gear position sensor,
gear selector cable or if the positions are not correct. It should only be possible to start the
engine in P and N, and the reversing light should only come on at R. Feel how much play
there is in the top of the gear selector lever. The play should be the same in N and D. If gear
position or play are not correct, adjust as described on pages 2 and 3.
