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 brakes. See “Parking Brake” if
necessary.
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be
ready to turn off the engine immediately if
it starts.
3. Try to start the engine in each gear.
The starter should work only in PARK (P),
if equipped, or NEUTRAL (N). If the
starter works in any other position, your
vehicle needs service.
Transmission Shift Indicator Check
Check that the indicator points to the gear chosen.
Steering Check
Be alert for any changes in steering action,
abnormal front tire wear, or steering wheel
position. An inspection or service is needed when
the steering wheel is harder to turn or has too
much free play, or if there are strange sounds
when turning or parking.
Brake System Check
Be alert to illumination of the low air warning lamp
or for the tone alarm, or changes in braking
action, such as repeated pulling to one side,
unusual sounds when braking, or increased
brake pedal travel. Make sure air brake system
reservoirs are drained daily with full system
air pressure, and check system for leaks. Any of
these conditions could indicate the need for
brake system inspection and/or service.
