Park/Neutral Position Switch

  1. If a new Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch has been rotated and the pin is broken or if using an old PNP switch, adjust the PNP switch. Place the shift shaft in the Neutral position.
  2. Use the Park/Neutral Position Switch Alignment Tool (J-41545) to align the slots of the PNP switch to the Neutral position. Align the flats of the shift shaft to the flats in the PNP switch.
  3. NOTE: If the PNP switch bolt holes do not align with the mounting boss on the transaxle, verify the shaft is in the Neutral position.
  4. Install the PNP switch to the mounting boss. See Fig 1 .
  5. Assemble the PNP switch mounting bolts loosely. Install the PNP switch alignment tool on locations (1) and (2) in order to align the PNP switch. See Fig 2 . Install the PNP switch mounting bolts. Tighten the PNP switch mounting bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
