Neutral Switch

A neutral switch is fitted to transaxle on vehicles with standard transmission (there is no neutral switch on cars equipped with automatic transmission). When transaxle is in neutral, switch is automatically turned on. Current flows to solenoid valve which is energized and shuts off accelerated idle. This device is used to make sure the accelerated idle is cut out and engine returns to normal idle.
