1. Selector Mechanism Function Test

• The starter does not work when the selector lever is in "S", "D", "R" or in the "tiptronic gate".
• If the selector lever position "N" is selected at speeds greater than 5 km/h, the shift lock solenoid must not engage and block the selector lever. The selector lever can be moved into another gear.
• For speeds below 2 km/h (almost standstill) and shifting into selector lever position "N", the shift lock solenoid must only engage after approximately 1 second. The selector lever can be moved out of "N" only when the brake pedal is pressed.

Selector lever in "P" : 

-- Press the button on the parking brake to activate it.

-- Do not press the brake pedal.

-- Press the key briefly in the ignition lock to reach the "ignition on" position.

-- Do not press the brake pedal.

• Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of position "P" while locking button on selector lever handle is pressed. The shift lock solenoid -N110- locks the selector lever.

-- Press the brake pedal and hold it down.

• The shift lock solenoid unlocks the selector lever. It is possible to shift into a gear. Press the button in the selector lever handle and slowly move the selector lever from "P" and through "R, N, D, S". While doing this, make sure the transmission range display -Y6- inside the instrument cluster matches the actual position of the selector lever.

The selector lever is in "N" and the ignition is turned on: 

-- Do not press the brake pedal.

• After a short waiting period: The selector lever is locked and cannot be moved out of "N" position despite pressing locking button on selector lever handle. The shift lock solenoid locks the selector lever.

-- Press the brake pedal.

• The shift lock solenoid unlocks the selector lever. It is possible to shift into "D".

The selector lever is in "D" and the ignition is turned on: 

-- Move the selector lever into the "tiptronic gate".

• The "D" in the selector lever transmission range position display unit -Y26- must turn off and the "+" and "-" symbols must turn on.
• The transmission range display inside the instrument cluster must change from "D" to "M1" when the selector lever is moved into the "tiptronic gate".

-- Press Guided Fault Finding  on the vehicle diagnosis tester if the specified value is not reached.

-- Adjust the selector lever cable. Refer to SELECTOR LEVER CABLE, ADJUSTING .

-- Locking button on selector lever handle, checking 3. CHECK LOCKING BUTTON IN THE SELECTOR LEVER HANDLE .
