Neutral Safety Switch

  1. With transaxle linkage properly adjusted, switch should allow starter operation in "P" and "N" only. To test switch, remove wire connector and test for continuity between center pin of switch and transaxle case. Continuity should exist only when transaxle is in "P" or "N".
  2. Check for continuity between 2 outer pins. Continuity should exist with transaxle in "R" position only. There should be no continuity between either outside pin and the transaxle case.
    NOTE: Ensure gearshift linkage is properly adjusted before replacing a switch that tests bad.
  3. To replace, remove switch from case and allow fluid to drain. Move selector lever to "P" and "N" positions and check that switch operating fingers are centered in switch opening. Install new switch and seal. Tighten to 24 ft. lbs. (33 N.m). Retest switch for continuity and add transaxle fluid.
