DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

EXTERNAL CONTROLS
The selector lever linkage transfers the selected transmission operating mode from the selector lever to the
transmission. The selected mode of operation, shown on the transmission selector lever indicator, is transferred
through the transmission column shift selector tube, then to the selector lever cable and down to the manual
control lever on the transmission.
Brake Shift Interlock System
The brake shift interlock system prevents the shifting from PARK unless the brake pedal is applied. The brake
shift interlock system consists of a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) mounted at the base of the steering
column tube. If the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the BSIA is continually on unless the brake pedal is
applied.
Transmission Control Switch (TCS)
The Transmission Control Switch (TCS) is a momentary contact switch that is located on the transmission
selector lever. The Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL) is located in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
Pushing the TCS will either disengage or engage the Overdrive (O/D) function of the transmission. When O/D
is disengaged, the TCIL will illuminate the word OFF. Each time the ignition switch is placed in the RUN
position, the transmission will automatically provide O/D operation regardless of TCS position the last time the
vehicle was running.

Symptom Chart - NVH
NOTE: NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools that are
available. For a list of these tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of
common terms, refer to NOISE, VIBRATION & HARSHNESS article. Since it is
possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be
necessary to use a process of elimination type of diagnostic approach to
pinpoint the responsible system. If this is not the causal system for the
symptom, refer back to NOISE, VIBRATION & HARSHNESS article for the next
likely system and continue diagnosis.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Microsoft
2008 Ford Ranger
BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK OVERRIDE
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock feature that prevents the
selector lever from being moved out of PARK when the ignition is in the ON
position unless the brake pedal is applied.
NOTE: Use the override procedure to move the selector lever out of the PARK position,
it is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational.
Before driving the vehicle, verify that the brake lights are working.
If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position when the
ignition is in the ON position and the brake pedal is applied, carry out the
following steps:
1. Apply the park brake.

2. Insert the ignition key and turn it to ON.
3. Apply the brake pedal and move the selector lever into NEUTRAL.
SELECTOR LEVER CABLE ADJUSTMENT
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING &
LIFTING article.
2. Place the selector lever in the Overdrive (Circle D) position and hang a 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight on the
selector lever.
 Move the selector lever to the 1st gear position, then move back 2 detents to the Overdrive (Circle
D) position.
 Hang the 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight on the gearshift lever.
Fig. 12: Identifying Overdrive

3. Verify the position of the selector lever indicator. If the selector lever indicator does not match the
selector lever position, the selector lever indicator will need to be adjusted. For additional information,
refer to Selector Lever Indicator Adjustment.
4. Disconnect the transmission selector lever cable from the manual control lever.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Ranger
Fig. 13: Locating Transmission Selector Lever Cable

5. Remove the selector lever cable clip and remove the cable from the bracket.
Fig. 14: Locating Selector Lever Cable Bracket

6. Place the manual control lever in the Overdrive (Circle D) position.

1. Rotate the manual control lever fully counterclockwise.
2. Rotate the manual control lever clockwise to the Overdrive (Circle D) position (2 detents).
Fig. 15: Moving Manual Lever Into NEUTRAL Position

NOTE: When installing the selector lever cable, make sure that the selector lever
Microsoft
2008 Ford Ranger
cable locking tabs are locked in place and the cable end is snapped onto
the ball stud. Press the selector lever cable into the bracket and listen for
the cable to click into place. Pull back on the selector lever cable to make
sure that it is locked into the bracket. Also, make sure that the selector
lever cable end is correctly installed onto the ball stud. Pull back on the
selector lever cable to make sure that the cable end is correctly installed.
7. Install the selector lever cable into the bracket and install the clip.

8. Connect the selector lever cable end to the manual control lever.

9. Remove the 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Ranger
NOTE: To prevent damage, do not adjust the transmission selector lever cable in
any position other than Overdrive (Circle D).
10. Verify that the vehicle will start only in PARK or NEUTRAL and that backup lamps illuminate in
REVERSE. If not, repeat Steps 1 through 7 and carry out a Transmission Range (TR) sensor alignment.
For additional information refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 5R44E & 5R55E article.
SELECTOR LEVER INDICATOR ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the upper instrument panel steering column cover. For additional information, refer to
INSTRUMENT PANEL & CONSOLE article.
2. Place the selector lever in the Overdrive (Circle D) position.
 Rotate the selector lever clockwise until it bottoms out (1st gear), then rotate 2 detents
counterclockwise (Overdrive (Circle D) position).
Fig. 18: Identifying Overdrive

3. Hang the 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight on the selector lever.

4. Center the indicator in the middle of the Overdrive (Circle D) position.
 Rotate the thumbwheel located on the bottom of the steering column to adjust the indicator.
Microsoft
2008 Ford Ranger

5. Remove the 1.4 kg (3 lb) weight.

6. Carefully move the selector lever into each detent and compare with the transmission settings.
 Readjust if necessary.
7. Acceptable indicator position when the selector lever is in the PARK position.
