Park/Neutral Position Switch
NOTE:
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch may also be referred to as transmission range switch or neutral safety switch. Adjust switch so engine starts with transmission in Park or Neutral only.
NOTE:
While adjusting transaxle range switch, always rotate switch towards engine to achieve continuity. A DTC P0706 could result if this procedure is not followed. A digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with audible continuity test is preferred. Do not stick probe in transaxle range switch terminal hole, use male terminals on transaxle range switch or faulty readings could occur.
- Remove air cleaner and duct assembly. See AIR CLEANER & DUCT ASSEMBLY under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Place transaxle in "D" (Drive). Use DVOM to check for continuity across terminals on transaxle range switch. See Fig 1 . Rotate transaxle range switch from left fender towards engine until continuity is achieved.
- Tighten switch-to-case bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . After switch-to-case bolts have been tightened, check continuity.
- Connect transaxle range switch harness connectors. Install air cleaner and duct assembly. See AIR CLEANER & DUCT ASSEMBLY under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
- Using scan tool, make sure each gear position reads correctly while manually moving through all gears.
